   It was out of genuine concern, guy.  I'm the one extending an offer of help,   
   you're the one "only giving a damn" about yourself and how things   
   inconvenience you.   
      
   Just consider the possibility that lashing out at those trying to give some   
   constructive help is a good way of continuing to be miserable.  The comments   
   I offered were in fact useful, you just didn't wish to consider them or take   
   anything positive from them.   
      
   So I'll stop trying to help, maybe someone else can get through to you   
   without triggering a defensive reaction.  Best regards.
