Calling it meaningless or "just opinions" is just a way of shutting down the discussion - i would ask why.

I think that's a good synapsis, I like it, but we are not Spock's offspring. That totally leaves out the context of emotional suffering going on here. We're not in therapy here, but I think interpersonal judgment can be taken more seriously, more thoughtfully, sometimes. I know some are in therapy for interpersonal/attachment issues to begin with, so it can't be expected or demanded.
Just look at the title of the post again--it's says "
devastated".
I think everyone's trying to help, but sometimes posts lacking a certain type of sensitivity can come across as 'kicking someone when they're down", when encouraging and uplifting someone might be more appropriate. Feedback and observations/interpretations can still be provided in that context.
Just some things to think about.
