Following your feeling and do what you need to is generally the best guidance on this earth classroom.
However, you are not allowed or be allowed to push, obtain or “fix” others’ emotions.
It’s their own homework, not yours.
We often mistakenly take all kind of emotions into our own daily life and try to figure out why suddenly that’s your problem.
In fact, most of the time, it is not your own.
Learn to protect yourself is not just about physical, but more important, your inner self.
