I can assure you they're not crying about how they got picked on when they were younger, that's for sure.
Is there a support group you bitches can join, or is this your only outlet?

If you want to be taken seriously don't make posts like that.
But... the posts you have made, on average, make some good points. We don't want a society of people who can't walk on their two feet, who can't do anything in life because they're too weak-willed or fearful. So some friction is good because it builds resilience. On the other hand, too much friction can kill or harm. Not everybody has the same tolerance for friction. We have to find a middle-ground and there'll always be exceptions to the rule. The balance is almost always somewhere in between, though. I think it's a mixture of both humility and reservation and self-confidence and toughness. Nobody can go through life being a jerk and stepping on everyone else. Nobody can go through life locked up inside themselves or too afraid to do the simplest activity. So when trying to understand this issue we need to be wary of the extremes and try to find a balance.
There're lots of walls I can't break down and yet many break them down every day without breaking a sweat. I admire that. I don't want to be weak. I don't want to be afraid of walls or left to simmer in my anxieties. I have some sympathy for people who can't break down walls. Sometimes I get angry at others who can't break down their walls because I see it as pathetic and self-destructive, but then I put the spotlight on myself and am reminded of my own failings. Anger rarely achieves its intended affect unless we're already most of the way to doing what we need to do. Screaming at someone with angry words helps not if they're not already most of the way there. If they can't get angry themselves to get them over the last few hurdles, then packing on more of it probably won't help. So the best we can do is help them better understand what they're afraid of and how it's not threatening to them. Help em to figure how how to overcome it and win. Win one for humanity.
