When someone who is struggling decides to give you moral support, please do not be dismissive or tell them not be worrying about you bc they quote have enough of their own problems to deal with.
First off, that's THEIR CHOICE, not yours. Its dismissive of their feelings AND it only makes them feel even more helpless in life.
Maybe you were trying to reassure then, but what ends up happening is you make thrm feel even more powerless. HELP your friend instead to feel EMPOWERED by their reassurances, please. Help them to feel GOOD about their offering you moral support!!!
Showing gratitude while telling them to stop doing it makes your own gratitude seem insincere or inconsequential or just awful basically.
Here is an adaptation of what i wrote to a friend who was told me "not to worry about his problems bc he knew i had enough of my own".
Please listen to what i wrote and take heed, and use it to help change how you treat people who might have done something similar to so that it shows more consideration for how important it is to ENCOURAGE your friends to show you moral support!!!
Dear friend,
my success is also semi dependent on anyone who might ever be willimg to buy my product (ie in this case, a massage from me and since i am only willing to give massages to friends of the family), i am selfish in wanting our friends to be doing well.
even if my online ventures stores and artist fundraising takes off, the success of even those projects are also dependent on the success of the people who buy the product or who are willing to make the donations.. if they are hurting too much, they are NOT likely to buy as many products or make as many donatio ns. This is why poverty needs to be gotten rid of and the middle class needs to increased..
So when i care about you, it's in fact me being selfish in wanting everyone i know or domt know or who cares about us or even who doesnt care about us -- to want them to be doing well!!
when people arent doing well then others around them get affected and often end up not doing as well either!
so its imp we all do well!
and that we all be there for each other as best as we can!!!
so how you are doing DOES matter to me -- not just bc i care about you --- but bc i care agout all the people that will be affected by your not doing well as well --- from your employess, to.your family, to myself
the more happy employees you have the more people out there buying things the better for all emtrpeuneurs... what affects one person has a chain reaction into society
what that person did to you and your company, he did bc he was trying to get some need met..
he did it in a horrible way that caused tons of people to get hurt. but how he handled it came from a long succession of how he was affected by life and part of a long chain of life events around him as well. he wasnt doing well and people suffered for it if he had been doing well he would have made differnrt choices.
point is, our lives all affect each other.
your doing well, your business doing well. it affects your employess and family and friends.
helpinh each other out as best as we can is the best that any of us can do.
being supportive leaves the rest of us feeling just a little lesa helpless by the chain reactions of events that we couln't control.
what we can control is how we respond.
i sometime may not realize how much my actions affects someone down the chain, or realize how much influence we each have in this world amd sometimes it seems we cannot do much in life, but WE CAN be supportive.
So allow and ENCOURAGE that suportiveness. Help people to feel a little less helpless and a little more empowered with their show of support!!
Reassure them only by expressing that you are extra grateful for their support and help them to feel important and needed by your needing their moral support!!
Please. And thank you!
