6/ A month or so back I stopped sugar coating my advice to a few young lads. Most of them responded by angrily turning on me, denouncing me, asserting that I was a secret enemy. Very SJW-like ! You either sooth boo-boos or you're EVIL !!!!

7/ Anyway, it's a self-solving problem. I've mentored (often no more than a kind word or two via DMs) maybe a dozen guys. Three or four of them had melt downs and blocked me. The others all made me proud with great attitudes and small success, which compound.

8/ Not sure I have any grand thesis here. A few small theses, though: * progress is hard * screaming at people who try to help with honest feedback is bad * doing so only hurts the screamer * lotta those young men - they're gonna be ok. Makes an old milkman proud. Onward!

11/ And, anyway, renewing my offer: if any young lads have a question they want to bounce off me, my DMs are open. I don't promise great insights or wisdom - all I guarantee is that I've waded through some shit in my 20s, 30s and 40s and might have some minor hints re landmarks

Replying to @MorlockP
Don't ever forget sometimes you have to go backwards in order to move forward. There is no shame in that.
