one of the worst things is the encountering of someone who is absolutely insufferable. no matter how much you try to console them, they will bounce your help right off of you. despite your legitimate concern and genuine longing for them to get better, they refuse to accept any kind of guidance. and this, i think, is what i'm scared of the most. if not the most, it's definitely near the peak of the list.
i think this feeling is most commonly associated with teenage angst, which is extremely truthful. most of time, teenagers want to solve problems on their own, which never really works out how they'd thought it would. some of them are really so insatiable that this attitude carries out through adulthood, and that's what i'm trying my best to avoid. i never want to be so closed up that i bounce opinions off my steel armor.
if this is all i ever accomplish with my life, then i'll die knowing i tried as hard as i could to attain happiness. even if i never achieve any other goals, i'll know that i'll have had my doors open for newcomers. not slamming opportunities closed is something we all need to work on, but especially budding adults, because whether you choose to shed your light on others or not, your own soul should be well acquainted with it.
