I don’t think this is your intent, but likely the reason people are annoyed by your comments is they come off as “have you tried NOT having emotional trauma?”. You might not mean them that way, but that’s how they read as an outsider to all this. Whether or not your strategy is a good one, dismissing people’s emotional experiences is never going to win anyone over or change minds. If you’d like to help people gain confidence, I would encourage you to meet them where they are, not where you are.

“Trust me bro, you need to be confident bro, just work on yourself bro”
Always said by the 9/10 fit guy who never struggled with relationships. Same energy as “just stop being poor”.
