I'm just tired of being drive by therapised man. And then when I get annoyed enough to genuinely and truthfully pour my whole soul out just to prove how incredibly facile they were being I get downvoted. HN can be as cruel and unwelcoming as it can be illuminating and inspiring.

Don’t pay too much attention to them. Your posts were a big contribution to the discussion and thoughts on here. There’s a stack of evidence even a small amount of alcohol a week has repercussions - I doubt you’d see the same evangelism if you posted how sometimes a few glasses of red wine helps you tackle thorny problems - but it’s not wholly dissimilar if someone wanted to take the same stance.

Thanks for sharing your story!
