RE: DO YOU APPRECIATE OTHERS TO BE OPEN ABOUT THEIR EMOTIONS? @ecoTrain
Friends sometimes are not as receptive as we want them to be, nor as understanding, where being quiet is the perfect situation to be in for certain people. It's not to offend, but it's more comforting for that person. Sometimes, to be understanding is to let them be...give them the space. They will reach out at a perfect time.
I totally agree with you, there are times that silence is what they need, we must respect their space and wait for them until they are ready to share their emotions. :)
That is not what i understand from your post though where it's a bit contradicting to what you're saying now. No worries though...i understand you were coming from.
Just try to not be annoyed when they don't speak and don't take it personally. Just be patient and let them know that you're around.
I guess I know where did I go wrong, I wasn't able to explain that part in my post in a clearer way. And I admit it's my fault hehe. I didn't include that it's annoying in a way that it was scary because I'm always scared when a friend is so quiet, scared that he's thinking about hurting himself.
But everything that you've said is right and thank you so much for pointing it out. :)
I will take note of your sincere advice and I'm really happy that you give your time to read my post, it is indeed a motivation! :)
I wish all the success for the @bayanihan (thank you for helping the Filipino community) and all the Steemians here. God bless us all!
