    To the ppl complaining “so basically just DONT BE YOURSELF”, that’s your first problem. This isn’t abt you This is abt the person you want to comfort. It’s abt putting YOURSELF aside for them. If they are telling you how they want to be comforted, LISTEN to them.

    If you can’t do it, then don’t. But don’t expect them to be there for you too when you can’t do the same back bc its “not you”.
