    I’m unsurprised but disappointed you’d just deflect instead of addressing the topic being discussed. I’m raising a toddler, you get used to it, although the behavior is always more distressing in adults.

    I highly suggest giving this article a read:

    https://ameliabehaviour.com/accepting-responsibility/

    I found this quote to be particularly impactful:

    Here’s one more key message you need to carry with you, especially when your children Lemmings have been defensive and hostile to feedback: everybody makes mistakes, and that’s okay.

    We see you and we accept you, even if you become defensive and hostile when shown your mistakes.

    I feel you’re intentionally missing the point.

    1. Op asked if they should replace their phone due to the lack of security updates.
    2. You criticized OP for wanting to replace it “just 'cause”.
    3. Someone pointed out that they had a stated reason for considering replacing it.
    4. Your response was to disagree with that reason, despite it clearly not being in the context of the comment, instead of acknowledging that your criticism was unfounded.
