I guess it’s customary to do a follow-up when a tweet gains some traction, so... do your best to be compassionate and kind. That’s all I’ve got.

Just one thing: a few of you seem to think when I said “suffering” I meant “everyday life challenges that build character” and, I don’t.

An argument that's less personally aggressive could be: There exist a way to turn out fine and not suffer, how about that instead?
-
Agreed, though I didn’t mean “you didn’t turn out fine and are a bad person” so much as “you’re still hurting and might need therapy to help.”

And what if the suffering is tied up with the growth that you’re not sure would have come otherwise? This feels like a straw man vs the more nuanced version I hear more typically

See what you want to see.

At one point, working for EDS, I had a manager who had been abused as a kid. He forbade us to do any work or donation for kids' charities at Christmas because "he'd turned out fine, and he never got any help, so why should they." Actually, he was a sociopath.

(When I say 'sociopath' - on his honeymoon, his brand new wife got into trouble while snorkeling and nearly drowned. He apparently thought it was funny as he!! and laughed while she was struggling, and she had to be rescued by someone else.) (Also, he was unsurprisingly a bully.)

A lot of people come out of the woodwork whenever spanking a child is mentioned to insist that they were spanked and they turned out fine. I was spanked and I definitely did not turn out fine, so do I count as data here

I convinced myself for a long time that my spankings weren't a problem because I was spanked. Then I helped raise my nephew and the idea of beating him as punishment makes me ill.
