Someone once said to me that friendships are established the moment when someone says ‘wow that happened to me too….’

There are so many things that we experience in life and half the time we feel alone in those experiences. Talking about is way of dealing with it and sometimes you feel better once you’ve let it all out. But wouldn’t it better instead of just letting it all out you could also find someone who understands what you’ve been through, someone who has shared a similar experience.

For some really inspirational and uplifting words you could look up any of the following: encouragement letter for a graduate words of encouragement death encouragement

People who have shared a similar experience to you understand your situation much better and you can easily relate to them. Talking to someone who has never been in your shoes will likely get you the clichéd response that things are going to e fine

Besides giving you words of encouragement someone who has been through what you’ve been through will give you practical advice. I recall one time after learning this concept I approached a friend of mine in a similar position as me for a shoulder to cry on. Would you believe at the end of it we were sharing tea and having a few laughs about it too?

Psychologists, counseling and all that is all very professional I agree but sometimes you just need something real, something that you can relate too. You need to hear things that are not taken from a manual or talk to someone who is not following a set of guidelines and rules. everyday words coming from a genuine person can be more uplifting than words from a text book.

You are able to look at your situation objectively and come up with possible solutions. Even though the problem may still be there just knowing that someone went thorough it and made it goes a long way.You will be in a position to appreciate that even the most painful experiences can be lived through.
