today, i was hanging out with my new friend, we get along real well and i was telling her my life story and all the pain and struggles that i went through and my friend starts crying and telling me that i dont deserve any of this, i dont know about that but i am really insecure person and i have a low self esteem i really dont know why she cried because she didnt go through any of this, any clue on why?
itdependsonyoux3 answered Sunday March 21 2010, 9:12 pm: some people are very emotional and what you told her effected her in a HUGE way. even though she didnt go through what you went through.. she still cares about you so it hurt her to think that such a good person like you had to go through all of that.
its like, if one of your family members or pet or friend gets hurt and needs to be taken to the ermengency room or needs to have surgery.. some peoples first reaction is to cry because its SAD and they feel helpless and wish they could have done something or prevented it.
basically, thats why your friend cried when you told her your life story.
hope i helped, and good luck ! if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me, xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
thelaura answered Sunday March 21 2010, 7:29 pm: Think of it this way: Have you ever cried at a film? Or know someone who has? Just because you're not living the life in the film doesn't mean it doesn't affect you in some way.. so it's the same with the story you told her. It obviously touched a nerve, perhaps she's a sensitive person. Things affect people differently. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
sarline answered Sunday March 21 2010, 5:10 pm: sometimes when people tell their life story, the person they tell it to picture it in their mind and try to relate to it as if it were them. your friend feels sorry for you. she understands the pain your been through and she said that you didn't deserve that pain because she cares and is "sympathetic"
jocelyngabbitas answered Sunday March 21 2010, 1:07 pm: She's a very sympathetic person. Some people cry easily when they are touched. She probably felt like you deserve a lot better then what you are getting treated with and was thinking of ways to help you but couldn't, so she showed tears instead.

Lola answered Sunday March 21 2010, 6:56 am: Sometimes there are people who are really sensitive, and they cry just over the slightest thing, like they can cry when they watch a sad or romantic movie, or when they read a touching novel. So here its the same, you told her things that once hurt you, and she was touched by your story and she felt bad for you, so she cried. She was sympathetic.There are alot of people like this, its very common, its nothing wrong that you did or said, she's just like that, its a part of her personality, and if you know her more, you'll see later on more of these incidents.
Amarete answered Sunday March 21 2010, 5:23 am: She is an empathetic person. If someone has empathy, they will feel for you even if the things that happened to you never happened to them. Even if they have never been in the same situation, they can still imagine what it feels like, so if you were suffering then she can imagine your pain and is upset that you had to go through that. It means she cares about you and doesn't want to see you in pain. People like this are very special and make excellent friends; you should hold on to this one.
It might be hard for you to imagine that she could care about you this much, but if she sees something good in you then you should trust what she sees; sometimes our friends know us better than we know ourselves. I don't know you, but from her reaction to your story and how strongly you make her feel, I can tell that you are something worth knowing. You are someone worth crying for, and that's something special. [ Amarete's advice column | Ask Amarete A Question ]
