It’s messed up and disheartening how dismissive most people are. People have issues they need to get out and people should listen to each other. But at the same time life in its many aspects can be all encompassing so maybe they truly can’t or don’t have the time to listen. Maybe they have pain they are holding onto themselves. There’s many reasons why someone might ghost or not listen but I doubt it’s malicious.
We all have things going on. But it shouldn’t mean we can’t take 5-10 minutes to listen. I don’t expect a full day conversation. But that 5-10 minutes can truly change the outlook on someone’s day. It can change someone from climbing off the ledge and wanting to move forward. So many claim “mental health awareness” but only care about it when it’s their struggle
Right? You are preaching brother. It’s so true. It’s embarrassingly easy to just listen to someone and hear them out. 5-10 is absolutely reasonable. People wait that long standing in front of the microwave for Christ sakes. It’s crazy. But then the shoes on the other foot when they want to talk lol, and then your the mean one lol. If you need to talk man Im down.
