The same could be said on why this causes you so much emotional distress that you have to write these insensitive comments, which, arguably, are as useless as any other comments.
People have lives, compromises, priorities that are different from yours, and these priorities cannot be met because of the delay in this process, thus causing a strong emotional response. Writing it here helps, even if it’s just to vent, because it’s nice to know that there are others in the same situation.
I don’t understand why that is so hard to grasp.
