Re: OP

"Why that other anon had to point out that they overcame their problems in their 20s and thus I should be in my 20s right now fucking depressed me."

I'm the anon who mentioned quitting in my 20s, and my comment said nothing about how you "should" have too. I was responding in agreement and because I related to the anon who is currently struggling with this in their 40s. I think you're reading my comment in bad faith, ngl.

English is not my first language but [[You sound like you're in your twenties (you sound exactly like me in my twenties)]] reads like you imagine me being in my 20s. IMHO writing simply [[you sound exactly like me in my twenties]] would've come across better. In that case I wouldn't have taken it like an arbitrary age bracket, like a said, but simply as your experience.
Regardless to this, I regret writing the post above. I'm not in a good mental state ATM

I think there may be a misunderstanding. I (AYRT) wrote this reply: https://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/3234551.html?thread=1142914807#cmt1142914807

Which is the other comment that mentioned their 20s. I read the comment where the "you sound like me in my 20s" and it's explicitly sympathetic and reassuring to you, so I don't see how that's dismissive. But even that comment didn't seem to be projecting an age onto you or saying you "should" be anything, just using "I was there in my 20s" as a way to relate to you.

Sorry, nonny! I was not talking about your post!!!

But IDK the anon writing "You sound like you're in your twenties (you sound exactly like me in my twenties), and I promise, as you take the baby steps and build those new muscles and get into your thirties, so much of the fear just melts away." is literally assuming I'm in my 20s (as in "I should be in my 20s") and that the fear will melt as I get in my 30s. How is that not the case? It's explicitly written right there!
While they are quite sympathetic and reassuring and I appreciate the overall post, that portion where they assume my age because of I problem I'm not currently able to overcome still unnerved me. I found it unintentionally patronising.
I just wanted to point out that "HEY please pay attention to that and please don't mention/project any arbitrary age bracket when talking about addiction (or other mental health problems) because it can actually hurt people. We are all on a different journey here." I could've worded it better for sure.

(and regarding of finding comment dismissive, it was not about that comment in particular.)
