What kinds of responses do you hate when you're expressing a struggle?

I hate it when people try to give me advice. I'm like "Yeah I live with this every day. You don't think I thought of that already?"

Though its all with good intentions I hate when Im posting about negative feeling and people respond with stuff like "You have something to be happy about I just know it" or with 'I love you" or stuff like that. When they reply with general comments that are like automatic response to stuff like that (Im so sorry for you). Or when people say im not trying hard enough. Im just like you know I congratulate myself for still being a live thus far. You there really is a lot of stuff but im one of those people who gets mad at simple things like if you ask my why I bought a shirt with a monkey on it or simple stuff like that. Im too temperamental for life.

@TURTLEGOD I think it makes sense to not want to have to explain to other people why you like or do things. I can relate. Sometimes I feel like I get sensitive about simple things too
Yeah, but I get sensitive and subtly send a passive aggressive response and then feel bad for it, cause I know the person had/has good intentions, but I can't stop my mind from running at 100mph.

@TURTLEGOD I can't even get myself to send the passive aggressive messages I want to send because I feel like they're gonna see through it and then hate me 😕
@juniperjake That happens too if it is some one I don't message a lot, but on the internet I tend to take more chances. and my passive aggressiveness is really passive. At work if a customer makes me mad I won't tell them "Have a nice day and please come again" in reality just because I really don't want them to. Or do you not feel a bit more freedom on the internet?

@TURTLEGOD even on the internet I get pretty freaked out about being too rude. I mean I've done a lot of work to not feel that way, but I still don't think I could be actively passive aggressive.
Yeah, rationalizing that a person won't hate you for displaying anger is the hardest thing to do. I don't think ive ever been rude though, id like to think I haven't. In a way its good that you can't be rude but in a way its bad too. Like I have trouble saying no to people so even when I am at work or don't want to do over time if some ones asks me I feel like they might hate me and think im lazy and fire me. Then I think, they can't do that, but can they? and my brain goes back and forth like that for hours...Not that saying no is rude though
