I think he was kinda justified. I hate unsolicited kindness too. It gives off the same vibes as “you’d look better if you smiled more!”. Also, sometimes you just gotta be a debby downer cause toxic positivity actually does exist and causes just as much if not more damage than toxic negativity. He wasn’t even wrong. Never having something is significantly easier than having and losing it. My paternal grandparents passed away before I was born so I never once cared to get to know more about them or cried for them but my maternal grandparents were my whole life. When they passed away, I was a wreck and still am. He 100% shouldn’t have said that whole orphan vs orphan thing but he’s not wrong to ask why he cares so much *now* after not caring up until his accident. He may have been a jerk in how he said it but he doesn’t deserve hate for wording the truth in a mean way.
