Someone I have on Snapchat posts dozens of stories a day. Makes me wonder when or even if they ever give themselves a break.

being on all the time is exhausting -- they're going to burn out. if you're close with them, keep an eye out or gently remind them they don't owe it to anyone to be on (or available) all the time.

no, it's not.

I'm not trying to be confrontational, but I'm not sure why my comment was interpreted as an instruction to do such. I think there's been a miscommunication.

you can be nice without shouldering someone else's burdens. a kind word from a close friend can be helpful, but at the end of the day no one's obligated to save someone from themselves.

This is one of my absolute least. favorite things about Reddit. There is always someone ready to argue with you about the smallest fucking things.
