One thing I've been noticing lately(one of many it seems..), is that people seem to be want to hang out, socialize more, want to be around you more in general, when you aren't going through many difficulties or problems. It's like, they want you to be okay enough just to be able to their support, but if you aren't, they will be less inclined to associate with you. Like, for example, when you are going through some type of crisis, whether small or big depending on the circumstance, they seem to want to give you their advice first before you can even get out a few words or get to the root of the problem because how they feel on the subject, or because they had a similar experience and want to think that their situation will match up to yours and so should their advice. Or, they try to think of what you are going to say and make you feel awkward in replying to them as if you won't offend them if you say it's different from what they think it to be. Or they want to treat you a certain way because it's for your own good and will help you in the long run; such treatment as being too stern and unchanging or being too lax and timid in how they speak/act with ones. It's like it never dawned on them to learn how to help them to calm down first before doing anything else that could accidentally rile them up even more than they were. And, unfortunately, this happens on occasions with those who know us, and vise-versa well. Sometimes, the old tried and true methods just don't work in every situation and we need to be adaptable in our approach on what to do next. But that doesn't mean that we give in to their behavior or become ignorant to them. We(As in everyone..), need to be alert and resourceful in the care of others with these situations arise. Just like when driving a car, we need to be observant of the dangers in our path and steer clear of them to get destination safely; and the same goes with looking out for ones when these matters of everyday life happen to rear their ugly heads at the worst times. Sometimes, all that's needed is just to be away from the stressful area and know that you are okay with letting them have their space. Or maybe they a hug at that moment to preempt one of situations, or even just need you and maybe a few close ones to just be in an area that free of what could trigger an attack. That's why it's always important to ask, not pry, if something is wrong and if there is any way to help. You just never know how important those words can be to someone to needs to hear them, and how strengthening that can be to know that they won't be judged for seeking help..

Are the stuff in parentheses supposed to be Bible stuff? Like Luke 13:21 for example.
