I ask simply because I've noticed this happens often in our society and I have found that the people who said that were more often than not going through their own 'issues' but simply didn't want the burden of having to deal with someone else's. I find it mean, a polite way of saying you are 'crazy', and a way of downplaying spirituality in our world. Agree or disagree? Isn't the point of being human to go through issues? If we were all perfect, then we would be one with God. I raise this important issue because a number of people have done it to me, yet when they have a problem (no matter how little or big it is), they HARASS me with it even when I say I am 'busy' or forcefully don't want to get involved. Don't they see how hypocritical they are to not 'get help' themselves yet preach that others should? An example: if someone said they speak in tongues, can see ghosts or witnessed a 'miracle', they are almost always met with that response.

To Barbara, if I am complaining about the way people treat me, it means I want respect. Then why would I need counselling.

I dunno I'm not sure why people bother offering advice if all they are going to tell you is to get help. Hello why do they think you are talking to them for.

I do say people should "get help" if the condition they are describing is causing them a great deal of trouble. If they say, "I'm hearing voices and it makes me want to jump of a bridge," I'm sure not qualified to diagnose, treat, etc. and I don't want to tell them to pray when chances are they're going to jump off a bridge. Perhaps they did pray and the answer to their prayer was a person telling them to get help. On the other hand, if someone says, "I'm hearing voices and they're the voices of angels. They make me feel like my life is worthwhile and I am probably the happiest person alive," I say go for it. Who cares as long as you can live with it?
Sometimes on a forum like this, I think you'll hear "get help" because people are uncomfortable with anything different.

I don't know? Some people could just have stuff of thier own that they have to deal with or don't think that they are the best person to be giving advice to another.

You sound like you have some issues. Seek counseling from someone other than the people on YA, I don't care who.
