Why is it when you need to talk to people they say really stupid stuff like "don't feel that way"

If only I had thought of that
Most people don't know how to listen
Sean headed out of town this morning and I am feeling really low
I could use someone to talk to but I hate hearing trite advice
Its so meaningless and invalidating
Louis has been playing with one of Carmen's babies. It is really cute. We had to convince him he was a daddy not a mommy.

He is so cute
My son thought he was a mommy for ages. Didn't worry me. He's almost 26 now. So far not a daddy. :)
ReplyDeleteI think people say 'don't feel that way' because they don't know what to say when you (generic you) confide or share with them how you're really feeling. I think they just want you to say, "Oh I'm fine, how are you?"
