no one is ever too far gone. if someone wants to keep fighting then they should be given as many resources as they need to get through it.

I think being "too far gone" is subjective. I know I feel and believe I'm too far gone. But from someone else's perspective they might think I'm not. And vice versa. It depends on how much you're willing to take I guess

Agreed, it's up to the person to choose if they want to continue or not.

When you are hardcapped by genetics

What counts as a hardcap? There are ugly people still living their lives, and there are disabled and bedridden people that are happy. I mean, I respect people's right to choose to give up, but there's definitely no hard line. You can either adopt the mindset of a.) I have a disadvantage but I'll continue on despite that b.) I'll give up.

here I'm speaking from my own experience of being my naive self, but I do think most people are not too far gone. I don't even really think I'm too far gone either.

But I started feeling like it when I realized I wasn't going to get anywhere without connecting with other people about my problems, and realized that I'm too weak to do it. I finally went to get counseling for my problems and before we even started, she asked if I was experiencing suicidal ideation, and of course, I lied and said no, I wasn't. And at that point I was just like, ok, what's the point of this? I can't open up to anyone in my life about my issues, and I get nowhere trying to fix most of them myself. I'm too anxious to talk to my own parents/family or even my girlfriend, let alone this random stranger. Sure, she's confidential but she'd put me in a psych ward if I told her what's been going on lately. It's too late for me. Doesn't mean it is for you or anyone else; that's for you all to decide.
