I often ask myself "Do you consider yourself a good person?", without responding to it. Why? Because I think we're all screwed up in a way that we're not able to imagine. There are some of us who act like a total wuss. And then there's the other part of being left floundering.
There are days I feel good about what I've done for me, like studying, going to the gym, and writing. Then again there are days having done all this but it's never enough. I'm trying so hard to find out the one thing that I haven't done so far, in vain. People never really are satisfied with what they possess or even with what they can achieve. Every day, we do want more information, more exciting and thrilling news to make our lives more interesting. What if there's someone at your work place, at your school, etc. who is suffering from the anxiety to talk to any person about his/her personal issues? We see hundreds of people pass us daily, some of them we speak to - but why don't we talk to them?
On the outside, we barely see what's on the inside. People are good at hiding things, especially mental things that can turn them into someone else, that's it. Even so, what if we killed those people? What if you accidentally bump into one out of ten people passing you on the street, and that one person is suffering from depression, feeling worthless and like a used carpet you stepped on. And what if that one further step of yours breaks the inner ice of her's/his'? Imagine sitting at your kitchen table the next morning and reading about that woman/man who attempted suicide last night. Would you blame yourself for it?
Google says "Anxiety in general causes people to want to avoid things that increase their anxiety - like talking." What if it doesn't? Plainly, we're open enough to let our voices be heard. Sooner or later there will be a person like Martin Luther King again, Nelson Mandela, Malala Yousafzai or even Emily Wilding Davison. All of these and many more changed not only history; they changed people's lives.
As far as you understood my request for you - let someone just hear a single thing to make them laugh for a while. Maybe then you'll be satisfied enough to feel good for a day.
