Hola !! Bienvenidos queridos visitantes 🌷 | Hello!! Welcome dear visitors 🌷
A few days ago I was talking with my friend about how to cope with life's difficulties when you have low self-esteem. She told me that sometimes she feels sad, and that sometimes she feels like she has to put on a fake smile to avoid having to tell everyone what's bothering her. Of course, I told her that not everyone needs to know what's going on with us, because there are people with bad intentions who just want to know how you feel, and for some reason they don't want what's best for you; they end up saying something that hurts you even more, or they use that information to hurt you when you're already vulnerable. I know that the time we've spent together has strengthened our friendship, and I've noticed that she tries to hide what's bothering her so that I don't feel bad too, and that's when you can see the "fake smile" on her face. She tells me that sometimes she wants to avoid making me sad, and I've confessed to her that it's good for her to tell me how she feels, since I've always been there to listen to her and try to understand her. Maybe I can't solve her problems, but sometimes we just want someone to listen to us, someone to be there for us, even if they don't do anything. Then, she ends up telling me everything, and at the end of each conversation she tells me that she needed to talk to me and that it was the best thing for her.
I told her that I too have been in situations where I felt the need to put on a fake smile in front of others, for the very same reason: because I had no one to listen to how I felt. When that happened, I would just prefer to hide my feelings. And when I did that, many feelings would accumulate inside me, which forces you to pretend to be okay, and even though it doesn't seem like it, it makes you feel worse and worse. There are also times when we just want to be alone, without wanting to talk to anyone. And while being alone isn't always the best thing, sometimes it's necessary to think things through by yourself. But from my perspective, talking to those I trust and feel comfortable expressing my feelings to is very helpful. These are the people who don't judge you and are there for you, offering support and comfort, even when things aren't going well. Because a friend isn't just with you in good times, but also in bad times, at all times.
I always tell my friends that it's easy to fake a smile, but hard to have a genuine one. Even through all the difficulties we face, we can always find a reason to smile, to embrace the good things life offers, and to appreciate the opportunities it gives us to be happy. And even when things aren't always going well, remembering the people who are there for us can bring a beautiful smile to our faces. I often wonder what my life would be like without laughter, without remembering silly moments, or the things that have truly touched my heart. Those genuine smiles, shared with my friends, are some of my most cherished memories.
