According to psychology, the urge to immediately fix a partner’s or friend’s distress instead of just sitting with them in it isn't empathy; it is your own low frustration tolerance. When someone you love is hurting, and you instantly jump into problem-solving mode, offering unsolicited advice or trying to find a silver lining, you are often trying to soothe your own secondary anxiety. You aren't rescuing them from their pain; you are rescuing yourself from the discomfort of witnessing a vulnerability you don't know how to hold.

Many still believe meeting and remembering someone from a past lifetime is so rare that if you meet it means you are destined to be together for eternity. For me this has been such a common experience that I’m constantly trying not to disappoint others by clearing those old ideas
I dont know who needs to hear this but not allowing certain people access to you doesn’t mean you weren’t compassionate enough, didn’t understand their past or didn’t hear their story. It’s just recognizing you’re not responsible for the work people still need to do on themselves
