[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y’all who are socially challenged: friendship is an emotional connections. When you respond with empathy, that’s an emotional response. When you respond by problem solving, you’re just making talk. If it’s received well, there might be some gratitude, which is a positive connection, but it’s small compared to being understood. Some people spend their lives in circles of problem-solvers. Others form strong bonds with core friends. All are fine, but don’t look at the strong bond people and wonder “why am I not included.” Those people aren’t solving problems, nor do they want to in their limited free time. They want zero-battery friendships.[/quote] Lol most people I’ve met do both. You can be empathetic and then try to find a solution for your friend’s problem. They’re not mutually exclusive. [/quote]
