Define 'Hermit'.
Sometimes, when you are trying to help people, you come to a loss of words- generally it is actually not because you have run out of wisdom to give.
It is because the only wisdom you can give you feel is not appropriate to the receiver- it might hurt their feelings in a way, or at least you think it will.
I don't know if I should blame people or not for it- it is sometimes not entirely their fault as to how sensitive they are.
I guess it boils down to how willing you are to sidestep general codes of tact in the name of wisdom. I don't know if that is a measure of how 'bold' you are or if it is about how much of an ass you are.
I don't always cross that line, but I do when I feel it to be quite prudent- that doesn't make me a worser person in my eyes.
Just, when you are as long winded as I, the initial sentences in such an endeavor can appear to be wholly unhelpful and mainly arrogant rambling.
Frequently people interrupt me to try to stop me, because they are defending their friends sensitivity- IE, they don't let me do my work. They don't know more than me- they just missed the point that even if I know they might be hurt by this, they might end up ultimately happier/better off/etc.
When that happens, usually, you don't have time to finish- so you get pictured as this dark, demonic, arrogant person who only wishes to do hurt to others.
That is irritating.
Whenever you are receiving or giving advice, do it one-on-one - don't let their little idiotic friends get involved in matters that DON'T concern them. The next time I see knights-in-shining armor riding up I am going to rip my fucking hair out.
Remember- being a good friend means having forethought. Sometimes it's better to see what would be after the potential pain. Foresight makes you a better friend.
Fin.

Eh.]
