10. Can We Recover?

Neither I, nor Ryan ended up eating. We got into bed and I tried to reassure Ryan that he didn’t owe me anything. It’s hard for some people to talk about themselves, especially the painful things. The more you force someone to talk or tell you what’s wrong the more they will resist telling you. If you just brush it off the first time or tell them to go get help from someone else they might not feel secure in telling you more or the next time. They trusted you with what they were revealing or telling, they were looking to you for help and not anybody else. It hurts when you don’t try to understand or help them seek more help. It can be scary to tell others things and if they don’t seem to care or tell you to get help somewhere else they might pull away from trusting you the next time its anything important.
