They replied to the one that told them their magic advice didn’t actually help them (and they still burned out) with some variety of “That had nothing to do with my advice, you just did it wrong.”

That’s… not cool.



I didn’t say they did it wrong. The commenter tossed out two pieces of my advice as not relevant and I wanted to reinforce that all the advice was linked. Not a pick-3 three, toss two situation. What is not cool is having some sort of animosity or negative reaction because I chose to reinforce the ideas.

Someone who is not willing to listen or reconsider will easily be susceptible to burn out again. Especially to advice only intended to help not criticize.
