That’s the thing about empathy… don’t express it with any expectations attached. Feel it, share it and be better for it. Let the rest go.

And not doing so could push someone away for good.

When I get into those LEAVE ME ALONE TO DEAL WITH whatever moments, I don’t want to feel like anyone is “hounding” me (even if that is not the case at all) because I have to deal with whatever I am dealing with. Someone pursuing me during that time only leads to my feeling pressured and cornered and I walk away. Often permanently.
