+    It’s nice to hear this. Very empowering to see how this really painful experience can be turned into something positive to know ourselves better and move towards fulfilling relationships!
+  context_notes: |
+    This comment again demonstrates Joel’s likely sockpuppet tone: emotionally affirming, supportive, and vaguely therapeutic.
+
+    It appears crafted to maintain a **non-confrontational presence** while subtly elevating his rhetorical role as a wise peer within trauma discourse. The soft encouragement, paired with generalities, is consistent with known narcissistic strategies of **community grooming** and **empathic mirroring**.
+
+    This comment received significant upvotes (26), showing effective resonance with the community. It follows a long comment thread where the OP shared details of verbal abuse, idealization, and boundary violation—contexts where sockpuppets thrive as validation anchors.
