Comfort

Sometimes I feel like I'm a coward

I don't want to ask people what's going on because I have no idea what to say after

I suck at expressing my thoughts face to face to anyone because I always need time to arrange them. If not I'll end up saying something really crappy and insensitive (always)

My train of thoughts goes something like this :

*sees someone sad*

-should i go talk to him/her-

*person tells me his/her problems and it's really depressing*

-shit what should i say or maybe i should keep quiet-

-maybe i should say "cheer up"? But damn sien la probably many people said already-

-how about "it would get better"? Fak i cannot gurantee that i can't predict the future-

-"don't cry"? But crying is a good way to release stress- 

You see i suck at finding the right words. I don't know how some people do it.

So my stand is to just be there for the person. I think your presence for a person does more than you know, if it's the right person. 

But how on earth do you gauge if he/she wants to be left alone or not? 

I'm never going to master this.

I'm sorry if you want more than my presence, if you're looking for comforting words or positive words. 

All i can do is be there for you and i don't think i've even done that well enough. 

I never meant to be insensitive or pretend like nothing's wrong bcs in my noob brain i'm thinking you need some normality in life atm. 

Or maybe you've already sorted out your feelings and you're feeling fantastic. 

I can never fully understand your feelings but im trying, really.
