Me: I have a question for people in [a specific situation]. How do you deal with that yourself? What is your advice?
Random people: I don't deal with that! I don't care about that! You can't make me.

Dearest Internet Randos, this is called derailing. It is a form of trolling and it is rude. Not every conversation is for you or about you. You can read and move on without comment.
Or, if you choose to act like a troll, know that's what you're dong.
