A cry for help

7 Replies

Hello.

Anyone else feels that when they try to reach out to their spouse or family that they feel you only made them feel like you were a burden to them? I often try to reach out but most of the time it gets blown off by something that they are occupied with or just gets heard and no real actions to connect. The reaction is usually that they listen and say it will be o.k. Then they don't check up on you at all. I know people or busy these days, but how busy are you when you call up your friends to hang out every month? I can take a hint. The hint that they're not trying to be bothered. I definitely feel like an annoyance. This is why I am on this site. To keep the hope alive of connecting to people who genuinely care.

I am so sorry. I know what you are talking about. I think that sometimes people just don’t know what to say and so they don’t say anything. We reach out because we want comfort and love and assurance or some answer, but we are always let down by people. Have you tried counseling? I know, for me, it helped to talk to someone that I didn’t feel like I was burdening them.

Not what you're looking for?
