If I ever met you, I'd buy you a coffee. You jumped straight in to help the OP without offering any kind of upfront diagnosis based on the very little information available. The traits are patience and humility. They're valuable and not often found.

Helping other people is actually a tool I use to manage my anxiety. :)

Helps me put my worries in perspective. It works really well!

Going through comments I almost lost faith into people who do something instead of judging. Apparently there are still some who appreciate it.

That's said, if you guys would have a coffee, I'd be honoured to join you, let alone cover related expenses

Agree 100%, this was a great response amongst this sea of self righteousness and scorn

I agree that the GP's offer is admirable and far better than mere feedback. But this doesn't obviate the value of honest, constructive feedback. His concern is explicitly about the impression he makes on others, therefore our impressions are valid to share with him.
