does anyone else get mad when someone says they understand what you’re going through, when they literally have no idea what it’s like. i feel so mean and get sad when i get irritated when someone tries to sympathize with something that they have literally never gone through, when i wanted to look for sympathy in the first place when talking to them. what does this mean when i feel like this :(

Your reaction is completely valid and justified. The most appropriate way to help someone most of the time is to be a good listener. When you decide to support another person, you need to adjust to their needs rather than inserting too much of yourself into the equation. I think many people want to help, but aren’t sure how to and aren’t prepared. There’s nothing wrong with how you feel 🫂

i’ve felt a similar way when i was younger, i realized that i was looking for something from other people that i had to give myself. self soothing has been a rough journey because i wasn’t taught it when i was young, but it’s better than asking for support and being let down all of the time ☺️

Yes I do it's like some think they know everything about what you are going through
