50 Wholesome Memes And Posts That Remind Us The World Isn’t All Bad

I always share this when appropriate. As an EMT we were trained in suicide prevention. And, counterintuitively, one of the WORST things you can do is to tell people things like, "it's not so bad." At best, you've just lost all credibility with them. They'll think you aren't listening, that you don't understand. At worst, you can actually push them over the edge as they seek to prove just how bad it is for them. Paradoxically, the best thing you can do is to agree with them. Tell them something like, "Wow, it sounds like things have been really rough for you." Because it shows that you aren't just sweeping things under the rug or trivializing their problems. It allows you to connect. Sometimes just that connection, knowing someone else sees how tough it is and doesn't just treat them like they are weak or their problems are easy to solve, is enough. But at the very least it allows you to then redirect. (cont in reply)
