If you’re incapable of expressing why it’s related to status and confrontation, it sounds like you don’t really know why they are labeled that way.

I am being confrontational right now because you are spreading bullshit and I have little tolerance for that in online conversations. That doesn’t have any correlation with offering a solution to someone’s issue being “status and confrontation”.

Either provide some justification for why offering someone an advil for a headache when they really wanted you to just commiserate is “status and confrontation”, or just admit that it’s another bullshit social psychology label not based on any logical or scientific rigor.
