    I hope you are joking: I don’t think anyone is trying to make you feel attacked. More like, “Oh good, this isn’t just a me thing.” Which is kind of weird because I find solace in other people also struggling? Anyway, hope you have a nice day.

      It is a joke but there’s a hint of truth in there.

      I’m definitely not struggling in life if that helps

      Help gdhdjdkevwjsp

      I feel attacked

      Lmao - laugh my ass out

      These are all common internet comment section phrases. Please do not take them literally. "How are you typing if you are dead"🙋 🤓

                                                                     -🤓

        Bro, I am perfectly aware of all that. I have noticed this specific user making this comment more than once with no lmao (which is usually short for “laughing my ass off” not “out”) or other indication of levity.

        I was trying to be a nice human and check in on a fellow human. Humor is a wonderful thing and can be a great tool for dealing with life, but it can also be a cover for fear and sadness that needs to be addressed.

        Yes, I’m being serious in a meme community. You can choose to ignore me if this set you off. But in that case, maybe you need to consider how you are using humor to ignore the things you need to work on.

        If you were simply trying to help someone you honestly thought was new to the internet, I appreciate your attempt. But your style of interaction makes me feel like you are trying to belittle an attempt to honestly show care for another human, and that is not cool.

        Please, let’s not make that the norm it was at the other place. There are enough other places where you can go on the internet and be this kind of immature.
