I dont like asking for help when im sad because I feel like I inadvertently insult everyone elses coping methods/when they ask for help by providing my justification for how I see things
a professor i looked up to once told me "i'm here to listen to you, not to tell you what to do. what advice i give you is a guideline for you to follow if it fits your situation" or something like that
so personally i try to give advice but never say something that u should do. it's not on u that ppl get hurt you dont give their try and proven method a whirl
I just dont want to make the day worse for the people I love and care about by making them see things my way when I'm on mental red alert. I literally cannot accept positive remarks in any way shape or form, and I feel like people making an effort is wasted time for them
