Читать книгу The Bellator Instinct: Reclaiming Your Life From Chronic Pain - Артем Тюльников - Страница 9

It’s human nature to seek comfort. We share our pain with friends and family, hoping for a lifeline of understanding. Sometimes they offer it. Sometimes, they pull back, unsure of what to say or do. That feeling of social rejection can, in itself, make the pain feel even more acute.

Please know it is more than okay to seek out a new circle, people who can offer you the kind of support that actually helps. You will find them, often in those who have navigated their own difficult journeys. They are usually the ones who can offer true compassion, not just pity.

Having someone who genuinely "gets it" is a tremendous gift. But hold this in your heart: the ultimate goal is not to collect sympathy. It is to use that safe foundation to build your own strength, so you can walk steadily away from the pain.
