Yeah guy 2 wants “~~attention~~” support but he doesn’t want a problem so that he can get ~~attention~~ support. He already has the problem and simply wishes he had support from others. He also doesn’t want to be a victim. He already feels like a victim of his circumstance. The support from others would make him feel less like a victim and more like somebody who has overcome adversity.

So you have empathy and understanding for yourself, but no one else.

Cool. 🙄
