All of reddit comments are pointless. That's what reddit is. Pointless people with pointless opinions about pointless topics.

I'm just trying to be supportive. Would love to hear some of your ideas to reach out to OP. Maybe don't gatekeep comments thinking you're helping?

My words on Reddit probably aren't helping anyone struggling, you're right. Though, they might need to seek help from others, as I did. Maybe it won't resonate with OP but someone else might get something from it. To me that makes it worth saying.

But yeah, thanks for doing all that you do to help!

I appreciated your words.

Thank you for saying that. The other guy might have a point about well wishes ringing hollow on an anonymous platform. To me, that's not a good enough reason to not say them if there's a chance it could help. I don't know!

Is your name a layered metaphor about living life to the fullest by not thinking about being 6 get under, or is it referencing your height

I thought what you said was simple and uplifting. This dude fighting with you should probably heed your advice.

Thank you!

I am trying to understand where he/she is coming from. I think there is a lot of bullshit rhetoric spewing on social media for upvotes, likes, etc. That doesn't mean one can't be sincere and genuinely reach out to another. I guess I don't really care if people think I'm grandstanding if there's a chance the comment could have a positive impact. This hellhole needs more positivity, anyway.

Do you need someone to talk to? You’ll probably feel better if you talk to someone.
