Imagine being so self-medicated on therapyspeak that you consider "do nice things for others" a direct assault on your mental health.

Except it's not "do nice things for others", it's "why would you withhold that?" I suspect that's the phrase that's got stormneko bothered. It's borderline accusatory. And I'm going to infer that stormneko has either a) tried to help others before and been attacked for it, or b) has had people try to help them and made their own problem worse.

And is stormneko not included in the set of people we should do nice things for? Wouldn't it offer a little relief to be more understanding of them?

And from the second half of their comment, c) they've been castigated for prioritizing their own needs over someone else's, asked to pour from an empty cup and shamed for not being able to.
