Why do you think dumping all your worry on a happy person is helpful or even makes sense? Its transferring energy!! Why attempt to make someone else

upset when you are upset? Why complain instead of taking things in stride??

I woke up on one... GOOD MORNING!!

I'm a happy person and I welcome the dumping that happens here. Those that are dumping are to one degree or another in trouble, in turmoil, facing a crisis, trying to overcome depression, anxiety, pain and so much more. They want to be happy too... they are just in a time and place of struggle.

Sometimes it becomes overwhelming for them, so much so that if they can't voice it, they can't get through their day. If I can't at least take the time to listen, then how can I be happy? How can anyone be happy knowing that someone is in a horribly bad place and not, minimally, take the time to listen. It's called empathy.

You do you, but a simple click on the "Embrace/Support" button is all it takes to say "I hear you". Just the barest gesture and a couple of minutes listening. Sometimes even sharing your lessons learned. Not giving advice as much as letting them know they are not alone.

Yep, just a little empathy... it costs nothing.
