It's all in how you do it.

Are you being direct to feel self-important? Or are you being direct to help the other person?
Thank you all for your posts. Sorry it's just now I'm getting to you guys. Been a busy week.

@WasabiAlmonds But yeah to answer your question I have been direct on a couple of occasions to attract attention, but most of the time this is not the case. I typically have a "filter" to catch words that could possibly be used to hurt others.

The reason I brought this to a thread is because I've asked so-called friends for help and encouragement when I started struggling with school, a new job, and becoming unsatisfied with my family life, so I looked up to people in my group that I pretty much did everything with. I thought I was in a safe place when my best friends in my bestie group shared literally everything with each other, but then I ended up getting judged and ignored, even when I tried to be as polite as possible.
