Even when you tell someone exactly how you feel, do you have a hard time being heard?

Most times it gets turned into a competition I find. So I just stop telling the person and listen to them tell me how they feel.

@gmatthewb don’t be so cynical. The number of people who have gone through what you have is so small..... it’s hard to find what to say when you haven’t been through something SO serious. 🤗

@amk22 Honestly I hope nobody is going through what I am. But I mean even before all this as well though. I've always found it hard to find someone who was just willing to listen, so it has become harder for me to talk about that kind of thing.

@gmatthewb I hope you feel understood by at least one person!

@amk22 I really don't think about it much any more. I don't tell anyone about most of how I feel or what is going on. I try to cheer others up, not bring them down 🙂
