Hoshi31d agoWhen you put it like „What if someone you loved died?“ you are telling your listener that he is doing something wrong. It would be easier if you talk about yourself „What if someone I like, like you, died? …“ and convince him that your point is valid in your case, and he does not have to endure pain from now or be an idiot. Also, address that there are boundaries: „If had to go through thorax surgery I‘d make an exemption.“ If you put it like that you should be called „masochist“ less often.

Scoundrel28d agoFirst of all, I don't particularly like them. Secondly I WOULD go through surgery without anesthesia if I could. And thirdly, that's still an analogy, so there's nothing stopping them from saying "those two things aren't analogous, or even saying "I WOULDN'T want you to mourn me if I died; I would want you to drown your sorrows in alcohol."
I'm pretty much just left with the original issue just rephrased in a different way. If someone has authentic feelings like sorrow which they can't or won't act on, is it still the wrong to choose not to feel them? And if so, why?
