    The problem with being open with people when you feel down and sad, is naturally people only want to be around positivity, so that pushes people away, because no one wants to be around someone carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. So people like me end up feeling so isolated.

      Your right
      Most people aren't sad cause they're lonely, they're lonely cause they are sad
      They say we can control ourselves
      Idk about that

      The biiiig problem for me is that when I'm sad, I don't want people to see my sad side, so I don't talk to them at all😂😂😂 And then our relationships become veryyy😬

      I agree with you about the isolation. We can connect with ourselves. We can become masters of that and turn to the person next to us and they don't want to connect. And that's that. This woman is talking about being with people who are willing to connect with her, but what about those of us that don't have friends and family, who have connected to ourselves - what do we do? There's never an answer for that.

    Ms Carroll has practiced one of the greatest ways to be close in relationship to others-allowing herself to become vulnerable in front of others. How often in real-time do therapists become isolated to their own personal feelings when listening all day to the hurts and shortcomings of their clients. We Must Be Real!

    Omg that was so beautiful i am overwhelmed with so much emotion after watching that. Vulnerability. That’s what it takes. I just realized it. Vulnerability to show ourselves wether we want to or not. That’s how connection happens! Wow.. that was beautiful I’m so happy I watched it. Ps. I feel most connected when I feel seen, heard & understood 🥺

    Therapist aren’t the only people to connect with. We need more peer support, educated peer support is effective.

    Jeremy Griffith's book " The human Condition" saus that "the selfless love genecself destructs".. How does it do that & what is the cause?
    He says that selfish yet this same selfless love of a mother towards her young child ( which has not yet changed the world, ("all you need is love"), teaches, ( indocrinates) & passes on her selfish - selfless-love gene to her ofspring"; what statistical percentage is that? We know this is not the case because, there is a large %age of the world where this is not the case & they have has a great many years to display the survival of the most perfectly loving. WHAT LEVEL of selfish, selfless love towards your child must you become, from understanding what you need in your weakness, to cause your children to be perfect pacemakers???
    How long will it take the world to see their error, from reading this book & be saved from violence? Didnt many people try this with singing about love, & displaying suffering, to cause you to think& stop your violence? From where do you get the peace to control your tired angry attitude towards your growing toddler & tired angry husband, ....from this book??
    Does this explain why/ how the disciples of Jesus displayed selfless love, to their deaths, so that the listening women would change their ways ( Matt.21v32+) & devote their lives to their children who has already become violence & abortion supporters? But will cause then to want to listen, this book? PLEASE LISTEN TO Dr. Gary Parker, & Dr. James Tour.

      Good question, would you like to take the honor of isolating yourself from human connection in search of the answer to this question? Provided every day is written down on a journal on how you're feeling, thinking, doing, etc
      Im not sure if there is an objective truth to the answer, one may say to love, to feel, to live, to not die, to not be alone, to talk to someone, to be in silence with someone, to discuss with someone, to feel someone, to express yourself to someone, to accept someone, you get it. The list can go on but is there a main answer that sums up everything? Or the answer varies with the individual you're interacting with and or feels the need to offer you a response
