Why telling your friend you're suffering is never a burden:
1⃣ It's more of a burden to me to have to *wonder* if my friend is going through hell, than it is to hold their hand through it.
2⃣ If your *friend* wouldn't look after you, or would rather not know... Not a friend.
And on a personal note...
My trauma was the most significant factor in the person I am today. If you you don't know it, you don't really know me.
And if someone doesn't know you, how can they be a friend?
We are the sum total of how we've reacted to the things we've experienced.
I often view friendship as an invisible safety net below a tight-rope... You only know it's really there when you fall.
And can we PLEASE ditch the phrase "none of your business" when it comes to trying to help people.
Our society has somehow swallowed the idea that it's morally correct for someone to only help others if their own interests are affected.
That's literally the OPPOSITE of morality.

Anybody who's waiting for Labour to overtake the Tories is kidding themselves. If that's your plan, just strap in for another ten years of Tory suffering.
For me, it's simple. Electoral Pact means the Tories are out:😎
If there's no electoral pact, we're all fucked anyway so: 😎
I'm pretty bad when it comes to off-colour humour. Like... I shield you guys from the sorts of things I say with my mates... But even me... I... I don't even know what to say.
I mean, part of me is genuinely hoping Patrick is about to turn round and say this was actually a super meta way of cynically exposing the way some media outlets tried to weaponise Prince Phillip's illness to try to silence Meghan and Harry.
We've all dated that guy who tells you and all your friends you look like a bank-robber when you go out dressed like that...
...you then receive 375% more attacks as a result...
And then he tells you the problem is YOUR "pessimistic narrative" (actually in the report).
The Prime Minister's narrative on race has called black people piccaninnies with watermelon smiles, said Britain should still own Africa, accused Obama have having a "part-Kenyan's ancestral dislike of the British empire"...
*Thinks*: Hmm I'd better give Line of Duty a go. Shouldn't take too long to catch up with everyone... Sounds like it's only a season or two in...
*Opens Iplayer* MOTHER F*****!
So... Discount Mike Ross from Suits only decides to start investigating pre-outbreak Morgan because the cop he fancies said it was OK? #LineOfDuty
"Haven't I made it up to you."
Translation:
Surely getting you off makes up for tricking you into getting me off? #LineOfDuty S01E02
This time last year we were all watching cases rise in other European countries but we were confident that we didn't need to use mandatory hotel quarantines on anyone crossing the Channel...
Clearly we wouldn't do something that historically stupid again... CLEARLY!
