So I'm taking this well to see, how do you comfort your friends, or rather, maybe it's easier to ask, what are some things that others say to you that are comforting? And if you have anything that you don't like being said to you, that's also incredibly valid and important. I think, too, it's important to acknowledge that we're each different and like being comforted in different ways
But subconsciously, I kind of just hope that people will read my minds or pick up on a vibe and just like, burst into my room and be like, what's wrong? But that obviously never happens. Ideally, though, on a more serious note, I just want company when I'm sad. I don't necessarily like to be touched when I'm upset because it can trigger emotions for me, and I don't like crying in front of people. It makes me very uncomfortable
But also, don't you think I would have calmed down if I could have already, like, I'm a smart, intelligent human being, and I'm not one that wants to not be calm right now? I would obviously choose to not be calm if I could be calm. So you're saying that literally does nothing for nobody. You know what I mean or nothing for everybody, I guess. But, yeah, that's a really good point

Or in this case, everyone is going through the same thing at the same time. Right now. I've just been talking with a lot of people online and whether it may be friends that I know in real life friends that I've made online, and there's actually quite a few strangers that I've been talking to online as well. So for me, I think that I find comfort in being listened to being heard, and I like to hear what others have to say as well
