Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier continues to progress in his rehab one year after suffering a spinal contusion that left him paralyzed on the field

I’m quite against generalizing statements as the lack of constructive dialogue that ensues, that and not a fan of wasting my time over stupid shit but fuck it, I’ll take the bait. Sorry in advance if I come across as a dick but you’re kind of an asshole so consider this a touch of lube.

You’re someone very insecure about their own character and shortcomings to the point it’s somehow necessary to come to the defense of OP in the first place, single or in a lackluster relationship for deeming it worth your time to continue responding and very quickly at that, any said relationships have failed because you treated them like your mother or how your dad treats your mom, have a moderately successful father that was hardly ever around when it mattered and you never feel like you’re ever good enough in his eyes and he places value on material/superficial things rather than heart, on the other hand you can’t do anything wrong in your moms eyes even though you treat her like shit, peaked in high school playing football then possibly tried to play college ball but had a harsh reality of not really being that good which took away the fun playing, yet think coaching might be right up your alley, find yourself in a lot of heated arguments over petty shit which most the time you end up outnumbered and often think you are the “winner” but what really happens is that you are incessantly ignorant of any reality that doesn’t align with your own and the others involved have better things to do than debate someone with the mental and emotional capacities of a wall, you genuinely believe anything that you haven’t succeeded with in life is someone else’s fault though you never can provide any legitimate or tangible direct causation, and probably have been called racist on more than one occasion because of opinions you gladly regurgitate because life has not gone remotely the way you wanted or planned.

You’re probably a good person but misguide your negativity into belittling others and not take a good look at yourself objectively because you’re ashamed of what you’ll see, offering little path toward actually wanting any sort of self improvement and therefore creating a better life. I don’t dislike you because you’re right, I don’t know you and find no viable solutions to addressing your mindset, which I do abhor, so if anything I pity you deeply but believe you can adapt to finding compassion, first for yourself and then for others with some time and effort.
