Hi aheta, do you reckon those responses make it feel like people are invalidating your feelings, "patronising" you, dismissing how bad/hard it is for you.........when they aren't actually listening to you, aren't actually "walking in your shoes", aren't actually helping you to feel differently....................???
Well if you want to talk and you don't want to hear the "Don't!!"s, that's cool with me.......let's instead talk about those feelings and some of the things/anything that may be making you feel that way, hey??
And perhaps if we can work through some of those........well who knows........
So, over to you..........I hear you, and here for you if you want to talk..........
