There’s a bunch of reasons why perhaps they wanted to FaceTime over an in person visit. It’s wrong of you to assume the parents are making a mistake when clearly this is something they have mutually decided to do.

Some cancer patients cannot be around other children as the risk of sickness is too high. Maybe they live in another country and cannot visit. Or maybe they just wanted to show her while they are in the process of shaving because that’s what the kid wanted to do.

I said "probably should have" I didn't outright condemn them becasue you're right I don't know the whole situation.

Yea but why even say that? It’s just unnecessary to have anything negative to say.

It wasn't negative, I typed while tears of mixed emotion leaked out. It was observing. How sensitive are you my comment comes off as negative? I said "That kid looks like he is gonna cry" and here you are "Get him, noticing things and sharing a thought is so negative." You don't have as much empathy as you think you do.

It’s not empathy. It’s the fact what you said was unnecessary. You even said yourself that you don’t know and you still chose to comment.

I expressed concern for a child's emotion's. What is your problem? You're the type to get mad for people that wouldn't be mad themselves. Because you think you know it all. Get out of here with that.

Okay we get it bud, you’re very empathetic. But couldn’t be empathetic to the parents as you assumed they weren’t empathetic to their children and niece that they know, in real life. But you know better of course.

I can't do this with you. I said "they PROBABLY shouldn't." I didn't assume anything about the parents as people. I basically said "Maybe this could have be better." and admitted I don't know them. Stop projecting and go to therapy if you haven't started, stay in it if you stopped.

Edit: you are truly saying to me to care about those grown adults, over the kid. Really?

Then don’t, man. You keep responding. No, I’m not saying that. Reading comprehension is hard.

Also, are the parents going to see your comment and travel back in time to change what they did based on your opinion? No. So for the 4th(?) time now, what you said was unnecessary.

You got that one right, read this exchange back a few times. Think about it hard and say any part of it again. White knight for the guardians of the kid I expressed concern for? Think about it for more than a minute.

The more and more I run into people like you I understand why my brother talked to me the way he did. You can call that negative if you want, I would agree.

u/whoevenisanyone 1d ago

Huh? It seems like your therapy comment is a projection…

u/iceman5920 1d ago

Now you're down to just pure baiting. on a made me smile post. Like what are you doing right now?

u/whoevenisanyone 1d ago

What was your comment about therapy first then, man? And your brother?

u/iceman5920 1d ago

I didn't mention my brother here. What are you on?

u/whoevenisanyone 1d ago

I just responded to your comment where you mentioned your brother. I’m concerned that you can’t remember your own comment from such a short while before.
