What are some common sayings that actually aren't true?

I know emotional pain exists. when did I say anyone was stupid for suffering it? that wasn't my point at all.

I wasn't even trying to be rude to you. This is reddit, it's not like everything someone says is deeply personal, like you pointed out, I don't even know you. I was just responding to the concept you brought up there in your comment.

In a sense I wanted to be encouraging, trying to tell you that you shouldn't feel like shit for that. It didn't seem like you were missing a specific person, just the idea of being with someone or whatever, and that's really a dangerous mentality to have sometimes, they can use it against you.

Also people who think that way settle, and I would like to encourage people to be fine by themselves first. Most relationships are shit even when no one settled, but lets not get into that now.

Anyway, I didn't even have any bad intentions.. As for the other person, I assume you mean the one who said words hurt more than physical violence, we were speaking generally. And I stand by what I said, words are in your control, but if someone beats you up as long as they are stronger there isn't much you can do about it, so the two really aren't comparable.

If anything, maybe someone can consider what I said and realize that they have the power to give other people importance or take it away, so if someone is deliberately trying to verbally hurt you, it is in your control. By intelligent I wasn't comparing my intelligence with any actual user, I was saying, if you have it, you should be able to use it. Intelligent person can act stupid but at least has a capacity to change it.

Anyway, I never had anything against you, I didn't reply to your comment because I thought anything negative about you as a person. I'm sorry I was rude, I don't always remember to express myself properly. I'm already pretty alienated from the world like you said, and I'm coming from my own bad place so I wasn't really considering that what I wrote might have made you feel bad in your own moment.

I wasn't even that serious with Batman and all that. Youre right I guess I am a shitty person and I have problems so you don't have to take anything personally, I don't even know why I made that comment that way. Forget about it. You're probably million times better than me anyway. That's my point from that other comment, people who try to hurt you verbally are mostly idiots so fuck them, you don't have to feel bad about all these things, you can still get everything you want from life as long as you didn't lose anything you need yet. Don't be sad. You seem like a good person.
