  • I'm not saying go around and insult people.

    You're not communicating well, then.

    You can tell by my parent comment I have good intentions.

    Actually, I can't. I don't know you. Your insulting and condescending tone in those parts contradicts your purported attempts to help.

    There is no context whatsoever In which the very loaded and insulting word "weirdo" is acceptable. Just because you have trained your family members to accept insults as information, that doesn't mean it's OK.

  • Fix yourself.

    Phrases like this or "stop being a weirdo" are aggressive, insulting, and only work for you to feel superior to the OP.

    Even something like "you have a lot of unsolved issues, you should see a therapist before attempting to befriend your ex", though equally blunt, is less deliberately insulting.

  • Work is not high school. A few instances of you getting your phone and saying "Do you mind repeating that while I record you, so I can discuss with HR how you're creating a hostile environment?" should at least curb some of those attempts at bullying.

  • wow. You are really thin skinned, friend. I wasn't lecturing you, that was advice, gentle.

    That was pure mockery of the style of the person you're answering to.

    Did you really want advice? Are you willing to accept it even if it contradicts some deeply ingrained notions you may have? Are you willing to compromise somewhat?
