Not everyone who opens up about their pain is seeking attention.

Sometimes, they’re simply searching for understanding. For a reason to hold on.
For someone to say, I hear you. I see you. You are not alone. You may not fully understand what they’re going through. You might not be able to fix it.

But you can listen. You can remind them they matter.

It's like how the word trigger has become taboo somehow .But people do get triggered and alking about it can help people identify where the triggers come from .I used to do serious posts about stuff like child abuse . Now I'm pretty much limited to posting music links and have even been chastised for that.
