People need people, too.
I came to understand recently that sometimes I’m guilty of ‘running a pity stall’. When someone tells me his/her problem, I tell him/her this – Oh, you think your problem is serious? Well, check mine out… And I go on to rant about my own situation. The thing is, it already takes a lot for someone to come to you and share a problem, don’t take the person out with your own problems. Be good, and be a good listener. That’s what everyone needs from time to time.
