    Having community isn’t about being with said community 24/7. Being a misanthrope is different than being an introvert.

    This seems like a strong reaction to what is a very basic statement that lots of people DO need to hear. Kinda validates the post even more. If you don’t resonate with it, that’s ok.

      I suspect the issue is they do resonate with it, badly.

      A lifetime of being told this message, that you’re the problem for not being more social.

      Even if I’m getting it wrong and I’ve not understood their reaction, I don’t think “calm down, you’re overreacting” is helpful.
