What does providing emotional support mean?
The requirements of emotional support differ from person to person. But, if we have to generalise it, I can say that providing emotional support consists of the following parts:No Judgement- You can know a person truly when you get emotionally connected to them. And once, you are emotionally connected to them, chances are high that you will know the real person behind the mask. Don’t judge that real person.Lend a Supporting Hand- After knowing the real person, you will have a fair idea about the amount of good and bad qualities that he/she has. Support the good qualities. And what should you be doing with the bad qualities? Well, you don’t straightaway label that person as bad. You will tell them what is wrong, then it is your responsibility to give an explanation for why that is wrong. And you shouldn’t stop here, give a solution and an assurance that you will be there with them when they are walking in the path of improvement.Listen- Most of the people are busy talking about themselves. In the contemporary world, it is hard to find people who listens. Be that person who listen to them. The more you will listen, the more you will understand them.Speak Softly- Your tone should be soft when you are emotionally supporting someone because of the very simple reason. They should know that they are being loved. Also choose wisely the words that you are uttering.Don’t Ignore Their Presence- Acknowledge their presence. One should not feel that they are being ignored. Talk and smile often because they shouldn’t get the feeling that you are being irritated or you have now lacked an interest in providing emotional support. So, don’t ignore their presence and apart from that, also mark your presence in their life!And don’ forget to keep showering your love and care on them. :)
What are some examples of how to give emotional support to your partner when they are feeling down?
Love them. Be natural and genuine around them. Don’t pull them aside and lecture them on how great they are, let it happen organically. Let them know how much you value them in your life.Listening without having an answer or solution.Rock out to whatever music they want to listen to without complaint. Or watch a show that’s their guilty pleasure and don’t roll your eyes.Snuggle with them on the couch or bed in silence or talk about nothing and everything.If they’re into it, draw them a bath with fancy candles and scents and give them all the time they want in there. If they want you to sit next to them outside of the bath, pull up a stool or something or if y’all fit, get in and don’t be sexual unless they initiate.Take them for a walk in the park where there are trees. Fresh air and a stroll can do amazing things. If they want to talk about the important stuff, listen without having an answer or solution. If they don’t then talk about nothing and everything.Make up the bed with fresh sheets and pillow cases in the middle of the day and give them some space to take a nap.Take the kids out for a couple of hours and leave them with something they can enjoy doing. (This honestly should be something that happens on the regular for each other anyway)Cook dinner AND wash and put away the dishes.
How do you deal with someone who always needs emotional support?
Set realistic and firm boundaries for yourself and maintain them vigorously. If it is your wish to be helpful but not overrun, then choose and exhibit the ways that you will BE available for the person in question and explain the ways in which you won’t. Beyond that, I would say resist the urge to feel guilty every time you have to cut them off. A country cannot export goods it doesn’t have. People are the same way. In order to be a source of emotional strength you must be emotionally strong. And no one person can be expected to play the part of a crutch for someone who is failing to thrive. One last thing——be kind.

SHINGLES at age 21? WTF?
Well I am 21 years old and I am experiencing my 3rd shingles out break. I obviously had chicken pox as a child (7yrsold). Ever since then especially during times of high stress I've had cold sores around my mouth and under my nose. At 13 I developed shingles for the first time. following a severe sunburn and cross country move (bad stress). No medical help was given cause my parents didn't identify properly what it was. then 6 years later at 19 once again following severe stress I had another outbreak of shingles more painful then the last and had a bad onset of cold sores with that outbreak, also ocular issues (optical herpes) which I was given minimal help for (due to being on deployment).. NOW I am 21 had a stressful week and not to bad sun exposure this is my third shingles outbreak in combination with cold sores and ocular herpes, This time it is not as bad as the previous times I have been diagnosed and given the proper medications (Methylprednisolone) and (Valacyclovir). So my main questions are Is this normal for someone my age to get shingles let alone 3 times?? I have no auto immune disease NO HIV/AIDS. Also could there be any underlaying conditions causing this other then stress and sun exposure??? and after an active out break should/ do/can i qualify to get the shingles vaccine?? well any answers advise I would Highly appreciate THANK YOU
What does it mean to use someone emotionally?
From the scant details here, it doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong.Judging from Quora, it seems like people are using the acronym ‘fwb’ to mean ‘random hook up’. If this person is actually your friend, there's nothing wrong with talking to her about your feelings. You've learned that she doesn't enjoy having those conversations with you, so you're now aware of one of the limits of that friendship. Find other friends to have those conversations with.Her opinion about your other romantic prospect isn't something to fuss about.
Would you date people with herpes?
I totally understand your feeling cause I am also a herpes patient. I’ve been herpes for 5 years since an unprotect sex 5 years ago. At that time, I was in deep fear of how could I live in the later life. Just like you, I was worrying about the same question—Can I still find a partner?Till now, It has been over 5 years, and I’ve already married my husband. To be honest, it’s not easy for herpes people to find a partner(no herpes). It’s ordinary that some people are afraid of herpes people, because herpes can be easily transmitted and nonone want to be conneted with that. At the begining when I got herpes, I was ashamed to tell others that I have herpes and there was an ex who broke up with me after I came out to him.That’s really not an easy time for me, but after that I tried to make some friends who’s the same as me via internet. Some people may not believe, but I have to say that there are more herpes people than you can imagine. Countless herpes support groups have been grouped together and herpes dating sites have come to our sight.I was a member of a herpes support group—HerpesTreatments, it’s a free site for herpes patients and supporters. The best feature of it is its 100% safety and privacy, I don’t even need to worry about my secret in that site. What’s more, there are many herpes people and supporters who would like to date a herpes people, which gives me a chance to find my love.Actually I don’t mean that every healthy people would not like to date herpes people, but it’s true that the majority of people would not. We should fell lucky that there still are some support groups which can do a great help to us herpes singles. Just come to meet others and try to be loved, and never forget that you are not alone, our herpes support group would be your backup forever.
If you saw an elderly person only ringing up and paying for 1/2 of the items in the basket at the self serve aisle would you tell someone or keep it to yourself?
I would first POLITELY approach the person and simply say, “I noticed some of your items aren't ringing up. Would you like me to help? These machines can get confusing.” I use to be a cashier, so I'd likely make small talk about that. If they decline—I'd walk up to an associate and quietly explain what I had seen. Usually, this doesn't occur because there are employees standing by watching and listening. Yet…it can get busy in those areas too.I hate to write what I did, especially since these big chain stores make plenty of money to let one person slip by. Yet, the reason prices increase is because stores have to make up for lost profits from theft. Unless you are willing to pay in the long run—it may be something to think about. Also, I couldn't allow child nor elderly to do something like steal and consciously not feel guilty. I don't like theives. If someone needs something and can't afford it—I'd rather help by giving money than letting them get away with stealing. They may do it again. The law doesn't care about medical dx or age. I wouldn't want my Grandma in jail because she couldn't afford $40 in food or merchandise,thus stealing something that isn't hers wouldn't be right.I know people say that it's the stores responsibility. I get that. I think,as citizens, it's OUR responsibility to aid in justice. I would hope, if I owned a store—small or big, that my customers wouldn't just let me get robbed blind. Besides…if you turn your head to “little things” ( I think stealing is a BIG deal,though), would you turn your head to other crimes?
