Trust me, my behaviour was not acceptable at all.

Here's a silly example: someone makes a post asking for help with parsing JSON-LD. In spite of me having no idea what JSON-LD even is (back then), my response was naively to tell that person to "use a JSON parser". Not helpful at all, and makes me come off as an idiot.

What's even more sad is that no one called me out on that behaviour, leaving me always wondering why is my engagement online so useless, and wondering why I had no real friends.

Just being a guy who knows how to listen makes my social network slightly more broader than having no social network at all. Friends—even if it's just one or two friends—are necessary for a decent life.
