5) Some people need to understand that not everyone is the same.

This is kind of related to victim-blaming and indifference. It's easy to assume that whatever worked out for you must be applicable to others.
Not everyone could afford to move out, seek therapy or drive a car. Don't tell others how they should feel, think or behave according to your own standards.

6) Help should be relevant and given at the right time, but never forced.

It's nice to get advice and suggestions from our support group. However, they must be provided at the right time and meet all of your needs.
Imagine if you're homeless and unable to afford anything to eat. Your only furry friend also passed away during the pandemic. Then, someone immediately shoves their phone screen at your face and insist that NFT can solve all of your problems away. It's kind of like that and makes you wanna slap the person on the face!

In conclusion, we should at least offer a wholesome place for everyone to express themselves and reach out. A lot of support groups help us feel welcome and belong in a real community.
It gives us a scope on how everyone is dealing with their own insecurities and problems as we learn to understand one another.
If you or someone else are struggling, try contacting your local crisis hotline or a trustworthy support group online that's just right for you.
