I've noticed in my life that when I've felt hopeless and like I couldn't go on, the people who've said "Oh get over yourself and toughen up!" have actually done more for me than those who however well intentioned probably let me stay on the phone too long describing my despair.

Obviously. But the people who know that tweet is meant for them know who they are.

To you it does. To some people it's the reminder they need, in the same way that it has helped me at times to be reminded not to wallow. We all need to just be listened to at certain times, and at other times to be supported in standing tall. Life is all of that.

It's easier for a person who is constitutionally tall to stand tall. That phrase would not have helped you unless you had a steel plated gut and a tall Texas personality. Because you have both, it was good for you.
