A lot of blame and pointless advice could be dispensed with if people understood this.
Until you've been another person, and that will most likely never happen, you don't know what it's like to live in that person's body or feel that person's experiences. It's really fucking easy to say, "Why don't they just ....?" The reason why people ask themselves questions like this one is that they are still looking at that person's situation from within their own perspective.
I know a lot of people "know" stuff like this in their heads, but they don't really understand it.
