What do you NOT TRUST?

If I type a supportive message then I do genuinely mean it. Sometimes I might go a bit heavy and sugarcoat a message to the point of sickly but that is normally to people who I know need that extra bit of sweetness.

My problem is being supportive to people who I don’t get on with or I haven’t quite figured out. Sometimes, they will post things and I truly feel for them but I just cannot type the words of support. It isn’t because I don’t want to be supportive, but because I fear that they will reject my care and also that they may take my support as an offer of friendship where there isn’t one being offered.

There are ways to express support without making it personal, by focusing on the issue rather than the person. For instance you can say that you relate to their problem because it happened to you.

That is what I find difficult. For me it is about the person. It can be the smallest of things that they are going through but I feel it for them because it is making them sad. Even if I am not close to that person I do still feel for them. I just can’t reach out to some people.

I can understand this.. I also have trouble with saying something to support someone I don't really know for fear of being presumptuous.

For those I don't get on with, I usually just leave it because I feel like they usually have others who will support them anyway. For those I don't know, sometimes I'll leave it sometimes just leave a heart or something small like that.
