    A lovely sentiment, but unfortunately it has no basis in point of fact reality.

      I dunno. I was suicidally depressed all day every day for nearly 20 years, and there were people I love who were very consistently supportive. As always, ymmv, but saying it has no basis in reality is false. If the human actions in this post did not exist, I would be dead. Instead, I made it to middle age.

      It doesn’t always happen, but there are people that back up feeling the way the post describes with action.
