While it's important to respect their space, remember that your presence can provide comfort even if they don't talk about their feelings. As Carl Rogers said, 'The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.'
Hey Mitwa, I have a situation I could use your advice on. I have a close friend who's going through a rough time, but they don't like to talk about their feelings. I want to be there to support them without pushing them to share if they don't want to. What can I do?
Just being there can mean a lot. Try doing activities together, listen without judgement if they open up, and offer help in their daily tasks. Remember, it's about showing you care, not pushing them to talk.
