Don't Shame Another's Pain

There are so few safe places in this world. Remember that before you diminish someone else's issues.

Frankly, it matters very little that you believe that someone's issue is valid. It matters very little that your problems are related, positively or negatively, to theirs.

You have the choice to acknowledge, to be a boon to them, or to shame them for some perceived slight they've inflicted by opening up here. Or, to ignore it.

If their pain makes you uncomfortable, leave it be. Let someone else talk them through it. Better yet, use that as an inspiration to talk about yours.

Don't add pain. They are not trying to hurt you, but your angry and vocal dismissal of a legitimate problem can hurt them.

Words matter.
