      I know you’re trying to be supportive, but you don’t know their situation, what they’ve done in their life, and why they’ve chosen this. It comes across like you know better or that they can’t already know what they want and what the ramifications are.

        And you don’t know if the other person is crying for help, wants to talk or really decided to give up. Never bad idea to at least give a chance for a conversation - especially online where people can just ignore you if they feel like it.
