"Even if she's smiling that does not mean she don't carry problems"
This would be the exact words for a person who struggles to fight depression, anxiety and other personal problems by trying to Cover those problems with all the laughters and fun she could have.
We all had that friend that seems like " a-happy-go lucky gal" that one call away and she'll be there and have fun with you, a friend that would bring laughter and would be the 'joker" of the squad. We all think that she is happy all the time, no problems, no issues and most importantly a strong friend of ours.
Little did we know that that specific friend is the one that seeks attention. The one that needs WARM HUGS, the one that needs Love, attention and appreciation.
Little did we put on attention that person could be your friend or could be YOU.
During this lockdown, the number of depressed people are steadily increasing. It is because they are alone, the only thing that makes their life Going is because of their friends. Because of their peers whom they cherished the most.
The one that hits them the most is that "she remembers all of their good and bad memories, even dates and bdays of their peers, but not a single one of them remembers her birthday" its like your other friends does not care about you, which is contrast since you remember and appreciate each one of them. So sad.
These "simple" things and actions means a lot to other people. It could cause them to have a low self-esteem, make them invaluable and unappreciated in life and any thing that they do
In order to avoid this kind of things.
First and foremost:
WE MUST LEARN TO APPRECIATE EVERY THING. EVEN THAT IS A SMALL THING.
Each things matter. Each event must be kept special, even if it is a small thing to you, it is a big thing for them. Learn to appreciate every little details. Appreciate their talents and their artworks, go to their gigs and be there for them. This king of things can make your friend happy and highly appreciated.
ALWAYS HAVE AN EAR TO LISTEN AND NOT JUST AN EAR TO HEAR
This kind of people are the ones that does not share personal problems of them, so if it happens. Be prepared to listen every thing she says. It is highly uncommon for them to speak on their behalf. Comfort them and assure them that all of you are there for her.
A simple actions means a lot to them.
Lastly, MAKE THEM FEEL LOVE
This would maybe the greatest thing that you can do, People tend to forget that our low maintenance friends are also seeking attention and love from their peers. It is highly important to tell them that you love them. Show them presence, give them warm hugs and most of all also take care of them. Few people knew what they are struggling in life so it is important for them to share what is inside of them. By this they could alleviate emotional pains and could make them feel contentment and love
"I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU, WHEN THE RAINS STARTS TO POUR"
"I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU COZ I KNOW YOU'RE THERE FOR ME TO"
(FRIENDS soundtrack)
Show your friends that you are still there for them. They really need warmth and Love especially in this time of ours
I LOVE YOU ALL KILONGS ♥ even if all of us are far away. I treasure each one of you as my best of friends 🥰🥰
