This is an interesting post. I tend to get way too wrapped up in other people's issues and lose sight of my own crap. Social media in general can be totally depressing. I also get upset when a person has a crisis, gets feedback, but prefers living in the problem rather than the solution. I had a problem with AA too because some members had a constant pity party. I didn't understand why they joined and it was distracting because I wanted to change my life. It is frustrating when a lot of energy goes into helping, but statistics state that most people don't change. I try not to take it personally or take on another burden and feel guilty if they don't improve. Also, I believe that many ask a question when they already know the answer. I know what I need to do to get better, and I know what actions are counterproductive.
