Some people who come here may not be in a place where they are ready to change their perceptions, no? And so you have to respect that not everyone is in a place that is ready to hear your honest perspective, even if you believe it will help them.

I cannot force people to all be on the same emotional page when they come here for help. Instead, it's up to members to figure out where their fellow members are on their road to recovery, and do their best to reach out to them there.

Keeping in mind, too, that some folks who come here haven't even yet begun on their journey.... but may just be feeling things out and contemplating change.
