This is going to be a bit of a rant / does anyone else post and a little bit of unsolicited advice, which I find ironic because it's I rant about unsolicited advice. Does anyone else just absolutely hate when you ask for advice or help about something and someone gives you advice that's not actually an answer to the question you asked? I'm not talking here specifically (although it has happened here) but in general on the internet. It's frustrating because it's not easy to ask sometimes and I have a really hard time understanding why people can't just Answer. The. Question. Instead of trying to tell me what to do with this that and all the other aspects of my life and health.


So the second part is the advice. Don't engage. Don't try to explain to them better unless they've expressed curiosity or interest in better understanding what you're looking for. It's not worth the effort and will only lead to more frustration. It's not your responsibility to make them understand so they can maybe hopefully help you. If they've willfully ignored your question about how many reps you should do of a certain exercise to educate you about the benefits of going vegan (just one example of what's happened to me) they have zero interest in helping you in the way you want. It's about them. For whatever reason they want to help you their way, if they even really care about helping at all, and they're just not worth it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
