I'm so sorry - it'll hurt, you are exposing a part of yourself intimate and vulnerable, and they don't know how to respond, which is sadly normal, but only leaves you feeling more alone, isolated and misunderstood. People sometimes feel they should have answers in help instead of just seeing being compassionate and empathetic can offer so much more. The silent nudges, hugs, words can give so much more.

It's pretty easy to give a hug, supportive words, but it's not so easy to be empathetic. Yet, often people don't even see give a hug.
