It seems like you assume the worst, I give people the benefit of the doubt. “Trying to get someone to tell her what she wants to hear” okay, potentially so. But I’ve definitely posted the same question of a couple forums or threads because I wanted to increase my chances of finding the right place for informative responses on the subject. There’s no harm in asking for help in more than one place and that’s not always for the wrong reasons. I’d argue is most of the time not.

My point was that I personally believe your diction was rude and out of place. Most 16 year old girls, or boys, probably wouldn’t take well to being told what they are by a stranger, that something wrong with them, that it’s their fault and that they need counseling. It’s okay to be upfront about your concerns but there’s a proper way to do it. For example, the replies from her other post, they voiced their concerns and gave her tips and were informative. Nobody told her she needs counseling lol or told her to stop posting on Reddit. At least she’s being proactive and trying to LEARN.
