We should refrain from expressing our feelings in the most transparent way, even to our most beloved friend, when we are in a highly emotional state. In such critical moments, when we ask our friend, our companion, or an elder we value, “What should I do now?” and this person guides us bravely, no matter how the process progresses, it will cause you to feel “empty” in the long run.
The main issues that cause this are personal issues such as the person's psychological resilience in the face of painful experiences, their development in terms of self, and how developed their decision-making mechanism is.
In order to make a meaningful, spontaneous decision, one must first get in touch with oneself (this includes thought/emotion/behavior analysis) and gain the ability to make choices, aware of the costs. The moments when we feel most stuck are the moments when we develop the most. In this context, there is research that sadness develops the brain. When we are faced with painful experiences, it is necessary to get support from our social circle, but it is dangerous to get advice. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, offers an impartial, client-centered approach.
In summary,
In such moments, do not neglect to share with people you trust and seek moral support. Be alert for your loved ones giving you advice and courageous guidance.
May the process be easier, may healing find what is needed quickly.
