When you need comfort the most, do you reach for food, music, or someone’s presence?

Question

Comfort looks different for everyone… sometimes you just need the right vibe, the right food, or the right person.

This is a good question for me because i have been through quite a bit of things. Whether directly or indirectly, meaning, if a friend or a family member has been for something I kind of go through it. Because they come to me   And we have to all understand that when we love and care about ourselves and others. Right and wrong accidents mistakes or intention That usually means there's going to be some kind of pain Depending on the scenario determines the depth of pain  And we all have to realize when they were all gonna go through it you can't run from it , you can't hide from it and it doesn't just go away The first thing you have to do is understand it. You have to acknowledge it , and you have to accept it and you have to do that right away. Because if you don't , you will just let it drag on and drag on and take you to many different places  So that's the first thing that I do. And sometimes I will do it more than once more than twenty times Because like I said , the power of love always take you back there Even if it didn't happen to you, the energy that I carry i will feel that pain through friends through loved ones. Sometimes I will take that pain just for being there with them So that's what I mean when I say i've been through quite a bit  I'd like to eat l o l so
I'm going to stay busy and I'm going to make food. I'm going to go for walks. I'm going to go for drives. Turn on music Because with all the above
You can ground yourself.
Into those , and they will take that energy from you Food music.
Stepping barefoot on the ground will heal you will take that negative energy that you feel from you if you allow it i've always been somewhat of a loner. I know who I am what I'm all about.
 I don't just see things one way I see them in many ways. I understand things many ways.  It's always good to have a person that you can communicate with. But if you don't or if you don't take that time to seek someone out, you have yourself yourself and you can get through it. So
 Like when you say when you need comfort, I think of comfort in different ways.
 I think of comfort in beautiful ways, and that is giving myself 2 others becoming one with them in a pleasurable way. So that's how I see comfort
For myself I can be there for other people to learn from 2 understand more So like I said, I see things in different ways, different words and different things to me.  So I guess I just take it on. It is what it is. It is as deep as I make it. It lasts as long as I allow it to. And no matter what.
You would hope that it would go away. And it really does but there are moments in time,  it could be a year away where you will allow it to bring it back into yourself to feel it again to remember to grow.
 And remind yourself. We're just human. And we really can get through anything  But not until you acknowledge it and accept it. Music food friendship , that's kind of a little band aid , really But it's in some moments they are mean full bandaids

I don't know what comfort is lol I usually just deal with it normally by shoving it deep down inside of myself and then I forget about it after a while.

Someone’s presence.

Food and music help for a moment, but the right person makes you feel understood, not just distracted. Quiet company, a real talk, or even sitting in silence with someone you trust can calm the mind more than anything.

Comfort hits different when it’s human.

I prefer someone's presence if I have someone  When I don't I search for the food I'm interested in, in combination with the right show

douride2 · Answer

I used to talk with my older brother. Sadly he is no longer with us. These days I tend to go off by myself to the sounds of silence & solitude.

Crimsyjo · Answer

I want a guy to cuddle me.  Otherwise it's food. But I don't want it to be food. Sigh

Abbycado · Answer

I look for @circushowcowboy under my couch. Petting the little guy is therapeutic.

Anonymous · Answer

None of the above. I just swallow it and let it burn.

AydenHazor · Answer

It's a mix. I'm just getting used to being able to reach out to people, but I have a few people now I can reach out to. Food is tricky too, as I have a bad habit of binging when there aren't others around to perceive me, so there's a mix of shame with the comfort. I'm trying to do more reaching out to people I trust who I know want to be here for me than anything else.

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

Presence. I bounce off of other people's energy. Music is a great 2nd, but just becomes better with others around.

Rei13 · Answer

It honestly depends. Sometimes it’s food, other times music and either walking/working out and other times I just want to be held

Nikki1989 · Answer

Music is always playing here; that goes without saying, but someone's presence is always pleasing.

dragoblack · Answer

I just distract myself with entertainment, relax in the bath, or take a nap.

Simslover92 · Answer

Definitely music or someone's presence. But more often than not music.

DishLady · Answer

I'd rather have people, but sometimes a cup of tea is all I have time and space for.

Shiprex · Answer

Music usually or TV/ cinema or sport/gym. This is becoming more common in modern living I think.

WonderingManII · Answer

I need the right person, but since they don't exist I just sit and suffer. Or I come on GAG and air my suffering.

Kingofkings1992 · Answer

Drugs. Definitely don't find comfort in people. People make me recoil in disgust

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Preferably, a person but, there's NEVER one around when I need one so, I revert to music.

Mark987 · Answer

MUSIC, and also someone to talk too. Music has gotten me through the lowest of lows and the highest of highs.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

That seems to depend on the moment, I've reached my girl, TV shows, drawing, video games, music, my bed, a stroll, and probably cheese too lol

Alexalex92 · Answer

Eating a nice meal and also working out. Go for cycling on the mountain, enjoying outdoors, pull ups and push ups, chop some wood for the furnace, digging in the garden... Music helps too.
