That sounds hyperbolic, which makes me suspect you're being defensive. Is there something about the feeling of "frustration" that you are trying to distance yourself from?

I'm not sure how those overtones would be perceivable in an online setting. I'd recommend taking what people say at face value when there is no reason to believe they intended it to be read otherwise. In real life, sometimes people can't deal with other people's problems and their own at the same time, so they can come across as insincere at those times. Also, some people are not very self-aware. They may be feeling empathy, but showing something else. Do you
always show sincere concern for others? Likely not. No one can be fully
on all the time. Give people the benefit of the doubt and you may start to see the value in threads like these.
