Two things I've learned... there are a lot of caring people and... most people have serious cares of their own that weigh on them and may make them feel incapable of taking on more.
If you've ever approached someone in a situation like you describe and offered help/comfort then you know it can become a serious commitment. Maybe more than you bargained for. But I agree that it is the right thing to do. It just sometimes takes more strength and commitment that most people are in a position to give.
Hope things get better for you soon  |
i see what you mean. like my teacher told me this week, people are living their own struggles and they don't necessarily pay attention to you. everything starts to make sense now. And some old friend of mine was right when she told me that the world does not revolve around me. But often times I treat it as though it should be what we think it should be, but then again, it's not up to us to decide how others should behave.
