@bunyip again, I appreciate the humour, but if you were truly concerned about my mental welfare:
Would the wisest approach be to joke at my lichess dates with other users here e.g."virtually getting laid"..."or just mildly pixelated". I feel I need to remind you that we are real people you are talking about.
Or would it be wiser to be supportive and congratulate me on small successes?
Often people aren't in perfectly mentally balanced or happy situations, and they do need some support and encouragement about steps they have taken. At least personally, I try to keep this in mind when encouraging others. Wishing you well
