Notes:

Somebody's been spamming the submissions post with old secrets, apparently (for what actual purpose, I'm not sure). Just give me a heads up and I'll take the repeats down.

Re: NF

You sound pretty, actually
Thank you!

But seriously, wow, you sound mad.

Keep in mind that a moral judgment is different from practical decision-making. Taking an example from another comment, if you have asthma you can and should physically distance yourself from smokers but you can totally do so without judging them. You have the right to say "please don't smoke around me" if you fear it is making you sick, because that's your business. Also it's different to work in a place that's constantly filled with smoke versus hanging around a friend for an hour who occasionally has a cigarette, as I highly doubt the latter will give you cancer. In my state, the first has been addressed by banning smoking in pretty much every inside business. Again, it's a legitimate practical concern that can and should be addressed for the safety of everybody involved, but separate from judging people for having a vice you don't approve of.

Secondly, in this case my problem was as much with the attitude of "If I don't say how I feel, it's somehow dishonest." I see this all the time and it's really irritating. It's not considered dishonest to keep some thoughts to yourself; it's considered a pretty basic part of social interaction.
I'll even admit that after countess_k described the situation more fully in another comment it doesn't really seem as petty, because it can be intellectually and emotionally distressing to be around somebody who is obviously in denial, but it also doesn't mean one necessarily wants to have the responsibility of trying to set the person straight. The original comment really sounded like "this person is totally great and I want to be their friend, except sometimes they smoke and I think that's stupid so I'm writing them off as a moron." Which sounds petty.
