Original Question

It feels almost like Gaslighting like my rejection of their perspective is unacceptable or unreasonable so I am reminded too stop acting narrow minded and look at it from their perspective? 


1. I don't care he has panic attacks he needs too work a job now.


2. So when he has panic attacks isn't he going too get fired or quit no? Having social phobia and facing the phobia and having panic attacks is not overcoming or improving his disorder its worsening it. He needs exposure therapy.


1. I understand its hard but You need too look at it from my perspective that where I come from how I was raised this is completely unacceptable and he needs too just get over it.

It's not even a logical fallacy if someone makes such statement they are arguing that you are narrow minded, no error in reasoning. Thought this is very vague you didn't add a lot of detail, if he simply said, "You're not looking from my perspective" and that's it then it is just not an argument. If he added additional information then you should have added that, because he would need to give a reason for what he said, but because he is implying that you are narrow minded it depends on the argument but on its own its probably an ad hominem.
