    Yes, I can count…

    Someone voiced struggling with addiction and your overly simplistic response could easily be interpreted negatively in a demeaning way.

    Person 1: “I’m having so much trouble with my obesity…”

    Person 2: “People can lose weight.”

    Can you see how that is not very helpful and potentially demeaning? How someone can feel that trivializes their struggle?

    If you had stated something like “Addiction is so difficult, but it can be broken. Don’t give up hope.” That is totally different.

        What are you even talking about? Making what up?

        Are you confused by my analogy I put in quotes?

                Haha, you’re either trolling or can’t comprehend use of an analogy. I hope for your sake that you’re trolling me.

                My policy is not to feed trolls, so I’m not going to keep fueling this. This obviously isn’t going anywhere anyway, seeing as how you’re arguing in a circle.

                Feel free to get the last word in and feel like you “won” an argument or whatever you think.
