Your post about people needing to be kind to those who Canβt Leave abusive situations actuallyβ¦ really reminded me of how a lot of people react to disabilities. Thereβs something about not being able to Stand being around a person while theyβre suffering, that masquerades as compassion, but is really just selfish and unwilling to put your own comfort on the backburner. Some people act like having to be aware of othersβ pain is somehow harming them instead of likeβ¦ a vital part of caring about people. Just something that came to mind.
no you are totally right. being around someone whose suffering you cannot stop is like standing with your hand on a hot stove sometimes, and people often vent how much it hurts on the person who was suffering to begin with
