    If someone needs my help and is hanging out with me and doesn’t ask me for help, how am I supposed to know?

    That’s the whole point. You aren’t. You’ve just been alerted to this asocial behavior being a sign of someone suffering, so you ask. You just want to assume they are a bad person not worthy of friendship.

    Poor rich people! They have it so hard!

    Do you honestly need it to be explained that rich people can suffer from mental and emotional problems as well? Taking that away from them is just blatant dehumanization.

      Well, if they don’t pay attention to me saying “let me know if you need any help,” then, again, they’re not a very good friend. I can’t help it if they don’t care enough about what I’ve told them to just ask me for help. If they asked me for money, again, I wouldn’t think “they need help.” I get that you would, but I wouldn’t.

      And sure, rich people can suffer from mental and emotional problems. They also can afford a therapist.

        I’m not sure what to say, it’s been pointed out that this is kind of like a cry for help, and you still insist on holding it against them. I guess we’re still squarely in the time if people seeing mental health issues as personality flaws.

            I wouldn’t have known that without reading this article, would I? Which was my point.

            I originally responded to you claiming it was “just shitty behavior.” Are you telling me you had read the article at that point?

              That is simply false. You originally responded to this comment:

              I’m glad that’s never happened to me. They wouldn’t be my friend anymore.

                Holy nit-pick, batman. I was one post off, but the timing remained the same and the question still exactly the same.

                    I literally asked you a question because your post made no sense in the context of having read the article first. And that is the equivalent to knowing what you are talking about. Lol
