Sometimes in life, you meet people and you enjoy every bit of their company. You guys bond well and though you have your differences, you're still there for each other in the end. But when it comes down time to help them, they simply complain that you don't speak about how you feel and what you don't open up either.

So you open up and you only tell them the light stuff as the darker stuff still hurts you. And you ask them how they feel about their situations and then they refuse to tell you. This repeats over and over and has caused countless arguments and it seems like every time you try to help them, they don't want it. But you're the one that has to let them help you.

Sometimes, it takes the bigger person to handle their problems alone and help others. Some people don't want you to know how they feel because you'll treat them differently. Some people may not want to scare you away with the thoughts they may be thinking. And some people may just want to battle their fight alone. That is OK. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. No matter how much you want to help them, if they don't want help, you're never going to be successful in your attempts. Some people just don't want help.

That's one-hundred percent OK!

In order for you to help them the way you want, all you can do is wait and be there when they need you. Listen to their words very carefully, then think clearly and precisely before you speak. The pain of not being able to help them directly may not go away, but keep in mind that you're helping them by listening to them when they want you to listen. If they don't want help, all you can do is listen.
