what's the point of being caring if
sigh, to me there are few sights in the world more heartbreaking than a crying person.
i saw a girl crying in school from a distance today. my heart told me to go to her, ask her what's wrong, see how i can help, offer some tissue... but then i thought, won't she feel super paiseh? won't i look like i'm trying to take advantage of the situation?
so this is me, i guess: a caring person who's afraid to show it.
then what's the point of being caring, sam? what's the poin of being caring if you're too caring to show it?
edit: dammit i'm so pissed with myself. you know how it feels like to care but not know how to show it? feels chao horrible.

hey sammie dun be too hard on yourself. you have no obligation to go up to her, except that you want to.
it's nice of you to care, but i think it's quite silly to kick yourself for "not caring enough", or for not having the courage to care.
maybe there's such a thing as caring too much as well, but i'm not too sure on that. if you get any ideas on that do tell me!
in any case, please just don't beat yourself up over a stranger.
actually, i think the difficulty lies in the fact that she's a girl and you're a guy. it's like girls are seen as helpless little things, cry = sympathy whereas guys are expected to appear more insensitive & like "erm i dno what yu are crying abt" and at the same time there is of course that whole thing about unknown male stranger going up to a girl in a vulnerable state. so society's all wrong but life is like that. ♥
joycie: well it's not so much "not caring enough", as wanting to help but not being able to bring myself to do it, know what i mean?
and stranger or not, everyone needs company at some point, more so when they are down...
candice: nah i don't see myself as having to appear more insensitive. the world has enough insensitive people as it is :) but yeah the thing about male stranger going up to a vulnerable girl - that bothers me... but i guess i'm thinking too much eh? the world really is more beautiful than we sometimes think...
and tango was great eh? that bar is really awesome :)
