This guy I met in high school posted this post about how to get out of the “friend zone.”

It's interesting however to see the negative response to my comment has only garnered one actual conversation to learn from but several people who clearly don't like what I said but don't feel the need to comment

This happens because these sorts of comment threads are all over the place, and frankly it's your own job to learn about stuff, it is not anyone else's job to explain to you where you are going wrong. The downvotes will help you pinpoint the things that you need to change, so that is still valuable information from which to learn if you really want to learn. Being spoonfed information is not the only path to self-reflection.

People get exhausted having the same conversation over and over trying to educate people like you, especially when it's generally not a fruitful conversation. It might be all new for you, but for everyone else here, it's gotten old.
