Sympathy for Personal Hardship

I'm sorry. This does feel like a pretty shitty situation. I hope all of this attention helps connect you with some people you go on to do great things with!

Thanks for making the effort to share painful personal things :)

I'm really sorry to hear that you deal with that. A reminder for the rest of us to remember how lucky we are.

I think the poster is having some personal difficulties in their life, let's be kind.

I applaud you. I absolutely did not intend to rub it in or make you feel worse than you might already (which it sounds like you have little reason to). I admire you sharing your experience and being honest about it without beating yourself up too much. The world is made better by little decisions for the good like the ones you made. Thank you.

Don't be too harsh, you don't know what the commenter's going through either. :)

I'm sorry to hear that happened to someone close to you, thank you for sharing.

No need to be snarky, dude is going through a rough time, can use some empathy

I have nothing to add to this so I'm sorry for commenting if i shouldn't. But thank you for writing this because i felt a little insane looking at the world around me and coming to some of the same conclusions as you have arrived at, that result from treating people a certain way. I'm not sure why most other people don't seem to get this.

When someone’s life gets turned upside down, feeling sick to the stomach is a normal reaction.Also keep in mind that the person who wrote this blog might be here on hacker news reading comments.If you met this person in real life would you say those things to him? If the answer is no then why post those things here?
