I don't like it

When Person A says: "I'm ashamed of/that xyz"

And Person B says: "You should be."

My gut response to Person B is "*forget* you! What a judgmental thing to say!"

I should point out that I've not been Person A or B but I have witnessed this interaction.

And agreeably, there are situations when variations/nuances of this exchange are appropriate (confrontational counseling) but I think that ANYONE who wants to assume the dialogue of Person B should really check themselves before they speak.

That is all
