[quote=Anonymous]Friends aren’t given a manual for how to handle when someone you care deeply about is going through something traumatic and emotional. And often just being there for that person brings on emotional weight. At the end of the day, either these people bring you enough support and kindness and insight to overlook this or they don’t. There’s no kind way to shut someone down who is saying something in an attempt to help you, so just ignore and reorient the conversation to another topic. Ask them about their life, what’s going on with them. Know that this person may bring you joy, but isn’t the person to go to in order to help you talk this out. [/quote]
