Are you suggesting that when friends are giving armchair mental health advice that they actually went out and thoroughly researched your situation, somehow without you ever realizing it, as well as did a review of recent medical literature on possible solutions?

That would be quite amazing, but some people have amazing friends. Unfortunately, others might not be so lucky.

Oh yeah my bad it's wasaay better for your friends to just say "wow sounds like you're doomed to be broken, good luck with that".

This is just a mentally unwell person lashing out at those around them trying to help. Jokes and memes like this are more harmful than helpful.

Yeah, what the hell do these people want? What would be an acceptable response?

They don't want to be better. They want validation that their mental health is not the result of their own actions.
