Offering An Ear Or A Shoulder To Cry On

[FallOutBoy2001]

Recently I've seen a lot of posts on here, and responses to posts, where the person typing lashes out at someone. Sometimes, they even explain why they're lashing out. One girl I recently saw told someone who wrote a myTake about having a rocky relationship with her father to fuck off, at least she had a dad, before explaining that her best friend had just lost her dad.

I know what it's like to lose family members or friends, and lash out because of the sheer amount of pain you're holding back. I had kept it pent up inside of me, until I lost it at a a few years back, friend who was complaining about her aunt and I told her that at least her aunt was still around. My friend saw the pain and offered to talk to me about it, and just let me cry, and that was the best thing anyone could have done.

Next time you see someone, either online or in person, who gets extremely defensive like that, offer them someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on, because it could make all the difference to them. If anyone ever needs anyone to talk to, I am always open, and I won't judge. Let's all make someone's life a little better, or at least give them an outlet to express the pain.

I'm very hay to know that there are people out there that still are caring and understanding, such as yourself... people end to be MORE judgmental online and I find that sad because if a person is taking the time to post something, especially something personally and heartfelt, the online community should see that as a cry for help... some people may not have that support system person-to-person... thanks for that:)

Just checked your profile - I had a feeling you were young - Not in a patronising way but in a good way, I felt you had that clarity that young people have whose hearts and minds are still open. Superb take on a lot of levels, very well done.
