We’ve come a long way from the 2007 study by Italian nuns on the connection between stress and disease. You know, which I read about at the job I started on March 15th (ref: HELen).

Have you read about theory of mind? It involves the ability to imagine the beliefs, knowledge and perspective of others as different from one's own. Now, imagine you are a person other than yourself. You come across a comment such as yours. What would you make of it?

I can't tell you that, but I do can tell you: I have no clue what GP is even talking about.

I don't like to be "that guy" but check comment history. The previous comment from GP was a disguised suicide note in a thread about BPD.
