Everyone complaining about the gross vibes of the post, which like yeah, true. But also even within the framing of the post itself it's just bad. The second and third lines are basically "realise X". The third line adds nothing of value to the original OP's intent.
What gross vibes?
Don't lump the guy in with incels. He's not blaming other people for his problems, or complaining. He's just lamenting. I don't see anything in his post that's gross. Leave a lonely dude alone. God forbid he let himself feel sad for 5 seconds.
Sure, but why are you directing that at me? The point of my comment was to point out that that wasn't the main thing of note in the OP.
I take you at your word that that was your intention, but it doesn't read that way. It comes off with a tone of mockery and hostility.
The tone was like that mainly because it was being dismissive of what was already the majority of other comments in this thread. It was essentially "hey, you guys are all saying this, but here's another perspective."
You're literally the only person talking about "gross vibes" I can see in this thread. And you said "yeah, true" which to me indicates that you also think there was something gross about the post.
Might be related to some fediverse defederation stuff.
Here are some of the comments I was referring to:

All I was doing was saying yeah, they raise a good point, but not the main problem that I noticed with this post, which is just that it uses the meme format badly.
It feels a little ridiculous that we've gotten 6 comments deep into this, but...
None of those comments make any claims about poster. 2 of them are pedantic jokes in the "Can I use the bathroom?/I don't know, can you?" school of ignoring colloquial usage, and one is what I assume is a well-intentioned legitimate caution about not getting caught in a cyclical spiral of self-defeatism.
As to the meme format, a green text can be anything from an epic 50+ post story about faking an IT job, to a single line about hating one's name, to threatening a cartoon cat, so I'm not sure what template format it's violating. If you don't think it's particularly well-written or interesting, that's fine of course, but just say that.
