RE: It is Sometimes OK Not to be OK

in #self-reflection7 years ago

Reach out if and when you need to...

I have been practicing doing that because I still find reaching out and speaking out the real problem is difficult. I might be writing it down and share it with public but there are details that I omit for my own privacy.

Sometimes, it's very difficult to tell people and be vulnerable because my pride won't let me. Overtime, I am learning to reaching out people to let it all out and forget.

It's becoming tell and forget. I am happy about that!

Be well @pathforger and have a great day :))

Thank you kindly, @macchiata, both for your upvote and for your welcome comment. :c)

Yes, this post does kind of send mixed messages but the main takeaway is that there is little point in suffering in silence. We all need a hand sometimes and it is often a good idea to reach out.

And very true, people tend to prefer avoid showing their vulnerabilities. Its a remnant of our survival instinct that manifests also in a fair number of animals. Cats, for instance, go to some measures to ensure that others do not notice that they are not well (and a cat that shows it tends to be very unwell).

Tell and forget is a nice way to go about things.

Be well also @macchiata and take care. :c)
