Someone voiced struggling with addiction and your overly simplistic response could easily be interpreted negatively in a demeaning way.
Person 1: “I’m having so much trouble with my obesity…”
Person 2: “People can lose weight.”
Can you see how that is not very helpful and potentially demeaning? How someone can feel that trivializes their struggle?
If you had stated something like “Addiction is so difficult, but it can be broken. Don’t give up hope.” That is totally different.
You’re just making shit up.
What are you even talking about? Making what up?
Are you confused by my analogy I put in quotes?
