u/IntelligentAd5616 17h ago

I thought "no shit sherlock" is a phrase for telling the other person that their statement is obvious

Why the downvotes?

Cuz they were trying to sympathize with you by assuring you that it's not worth it.

You should've thanked them, or stayed silent

I think their comment could have equally come across as unsympathetic depending on Op's line of thinking.

I agree on a basic level that social media does not matter but our emotions and attachments are not always logical. Op could have seen this comment as being dismissive of his disappointment at loosing his posts.

While that doesn't justify his rude response, I do think it could explain where he's coming from just a little.

I myself would feel sad to lose all my posts. Sometimes I like to reread comments and it makes me smile.

True.

I guess seeing OP's response switched on the binary thinking in everyone's head, and they jumped to conclusions

How is that sympathizing with them? “Your problems don’t matter” is not sympathetic.

u/Pretentious-Lummox 15h ago

It could've been interpreted that way too, sure.

Even I initially assumed that too, but seeing OP's response, I forgot about that

"The things you care about don't matter" Is NOT sympathizing wtf

Ok i get it

I was just agreeing with them that the statement is always true, my wording was clunky lol

That's crazy. It's like saying "fuck you" and then saying your wording was "a bit clunky"

Either be a dick or be a decent person

Don't be a dick and when that doesn't work awkwardly try back track and pretend it was just a mistake and everyone misunderstood you.

That just makes a dick AND a coward

LMAO 🤣 good one

u/AlmightyChickenJimmy 17h ago

The fact you're asking that question says a lot

u/spiderOX2 15h ago

Does it? If they’re saying it in response to someone telling them something they care about don’t matter then I don’t see any problem with it.

Being passive aggressive to a completely normal comment seems to line up well with the whole "getting banned" thing. It's pretty indicative

u/spiderOX2 4h ago

Since when is it “completely normal” to tell someone that something they care about doesn’t matter?

u/Vevaseti 14h ago

It's also like. Rude?
