Fun fact for you guys in the UK.

If you have anxiety about making phone calls to a call center, and you are greeted by an automated robot and not sure how to progress, spam the # button.

Press it enough times, and it will force you to go to a person. Take care 💖

Hurt and Comfort

Hurt/comfort is an interesting phenomenon in writing. Why would one want to read, or write, about a character they love and care about being hurt? If you hazarded an answer you could say that it makes the comfort more satisfying when there is hurt. But why? Why not simply write about them receiving care?

I think the hurt part is important to the care being emotionally fulfilling. The “hurt” generally involves:

Pain, and the acknowledgement that the pain is pain and that it really sucks.

The character not only responding to the pain, but being weakened by it and seriously struggling to “handle” it.

These things are really important, because I think having your hurt acknowledged and seen is a deep, vital emotional need. That kind of validation, that affirmation that “You are dealing with something very hard that hurts a lot, and your pain is real,” is so important. The second part specifically addresses another emotional need—the need for affirmation that it’s okay to need care. We are not made to go through things all alone, but many of us have been made to. Seeing a character, especially a strong character, broken down to the point where they need to be comforted is fulfilling in that it creates a scenario in which it’s all right to need to be reassured and supported and cared for by someone else.

Having to be strong and silently bear hurt is exhausting and demoralizing and yet so many of us have to do it so much. Many of us have experiences where we were hurting but it wasn’t seen, and our appeals for support were dismissed with a “suck it up!” and an insinuation that we were just “weak.” That’s why it’s satisfying to see a strong, tough character be unable to just “take it” and to finally break down.

And the comfort part generally includes:

Someone is there who cares for the hurt character, seeing and acknowledging the pain and doing what they can to make it better instead of telling them to just Deal With It.

seriously, hurt/comfort scenes usually do involve the carer character reaffirming the hurt (“shh, I know it hurts, just breathe”)—a general major characteristic is just...the acknowledgement of pain. And it’s good.

things are usually at least a little better by the end, providing reassurance that the pain will not last forever.

My feeling is that hurt/comfort doesn’t necessarily fulfill an emotional need to be cared for, but an emotional need to be able to safely and without judgment NEED care.
