the upload speed is particularly awful compared to my peer's, under 1 mbp/s so i am glad that i suck at commentating and hate my own voice because i would not be able to maintain a podcast / youtube channel
with my current speeds. pretty much every internet company sucks though, excluding virgin. |

| It depends heavily on the situation (as most things do). If the person is suffering considerably, the not knowing or not being supported is impacting negatively on their life, you have every right to let them know, to try and improve their QOL so that they can gain access to support.

If you're still looking for book recommendations, there is a good non-fiction novel called "The Psychopath Test" but Jon Ronson. It is very readable, funny and enlightening, I recently read it in under a day.
I have more recommendations but the other people here have supplied enough. |
