What You Don’t See
Everyone has a different story, that’s the reason why we must never judge anyone.
Keep in your mind that if we judge someone, we are making opinions behind them without even trying to know enough about them. So if we make prior assumptions, we never get the chance to them about them completely.
Sometimes we need to get through behind to understand a person. Others can easily judge by just looking at them on the outside but the truth is that there is much more behind them that we are entirely unaware of.
These are the things What You Don’t See:
Grief...
Some people choose to be silent because they do not want to share their loss, especially when they lost a loved one, ended their relationship, or going through personal hardship. They tend to keep these alone because there are motions that they need to suffer and heal alone.
Anxiety and stress…
There are times that people hard to admit that they are struggling and pressured for certain reasons that somehow lead to depression.
Chronic Conditions…
Some illnesses are not visible. Some people are trying not to speak up about their conditions because they have to or because they feel that they’re all alone.
So instead of judging people others by only what we see try to:
Be kind always
A simple act of kindness can be appreciated by them especially when they are going through difficult times. It has the potential to make everything happier than ever. It can also boost one’s confidence that encourages everyone to be in a positive living. Kindness leads everyone to positive mental and physical changes that can lower stress levels. So be kind always, and be kind in all ways.
Check-In
Make time to know them and how they’re doing and make them feel that you’re listening to them. Checking in with them can make them feel that they support them that they can count on you and can turn to you in times of their needs. You can help them by reaching out to them with words that can lighten up their hearts. Letting them know that you’re there to talk with can make all the difference.
Think of their Needs
Make some interactions with them. Respect when they say that they need time to reflect and also the time when they want to share their feelings. Give them time and opportunity to express their feelings and emotions without hesitation and embarrassment. This is because not everyone is the same in taking of grief and suffering, they’re all different. Some ideas and suggestions will not be appropriate, so if you are unsure of how to support them, better to ask them what they need and wants. Just making them know that you care and wish to help them can make them feel great comfort.
We don’t know anything about their sufferings, or challenges. And even their past life. Always try to know first and understand them instead of criticizing and judging them because people are not always how they seem, there is always more behind them.
So instead of judging them, always be kind, check on them and know what they need.
Every person has a different story. Don’t read the page that is just opened in of you, there is always something behind them.
I couldn't say more. Always be kind with everyone.
