This post made me smile

AIBU to think "this made me smile" is never the nice friendly comment it looks like, and is always sneery or patronising or defensive.

I hate seeing that comment now. I'm not sure whether it's a recent thing, or something that I've failed to notice until recently. It is a friendly sounding phrase, never meant in a friendly way

I said it yesterday whilst reading a heartwarming story on a fertility thread. I meant it

I get what you mean with the condescending ones... While it might be true that you can look back fondly on the trials of young childhood, it doesn't help the poster to know you're chuckling away at their struggles! Not noticed posts in the style of the first example though.

I think you're a bit paranoid tbh!
