Nora McInerney: 我理解大多数人都在挣扎,像在悬崖边上抓住一根快要断裂的绳子一样。我会倾听来电者的经历,并给予他们鼓励,帮助他们应对生活中的挑战。这个播客将持续推出“纯粹的激励谈话”系列,鼓励那些需要帮助的人。我不会让任何人对自身或处境产生负面想法。美国文化希望人们从困境中变得更好,这使得那些无法立即从困境中恢复的人容易感到自己有缺陷。人们期望你把困境转化为积极的经验,这是一种不切实际的压力。面对巨大的悲伤,人们应该给予同情和理解,而不是试图从中找到意义。你是自己悲伤的主宰,但你也是个新手,这很正常。向关心你的人表达你的需求,即使他们可能无法完全满足你的需求。悲伤的持续时间并不重要,重要的是你如何利用这段时间。悲伤不是你的错,但你有责任向他人表达你的感受。即使你悲伤,你仍然值得拥有快乐的生活。即使在黑暗中,也能找到希望的光点,并以此照亮周围的一切。人们都很孤独,都在挣扎,不要认为别人过得比你好。你并不像你感觉的那样孤独。 Jamie: 我经历了很多失去亲人的痛苦,这让我感到非常孤独和绝望。我努力尝试着积极乐观,但很难做到。我需要别人的理解和支持,也需要找到方法来处理我的悲伤。 Taylor: 我经历了一段艰难的感情,现在已经结束了。虽然我感觉好多了,但我仍然感到停滞不前,缺乏动力去做那些能让我感觉更好、创造我想要的生活的事情。我对自己有很多负面评价,很难摆脱这种消极情绪。 supporting_evidences Nora McInerney: 'I am here to listen to what these callers are going through and I am here to hype them up through whatever life has thrown their way so far.' Nora McInerney: 'This will be an ongoing series within Thanks for Asking.' Nora McInerney: 'I will not have any of you walking around thinking bad things about yourself, about your situation' Nora McInerney: 'And I think because American culture really does want you to come out of everything better, it's easy to feel like you are defective or you must be doing something wrong if you are not immediately able to turn the lemons that you did not ask for.' Nora McInerney: 'Like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. There's nothing that is going to make that make sense.' Nora McInerney: 'He says like, losing love is like a window in your heart. Everyone can see you're blown apart. Everyone can see the wind blow.' Nora McInerney: 'You are the boss of your own grief, like you are the captain, but, and this is important, You've never done this before.' Nora McInerney: 'It's not time, it's what you do with the time.' Nora McInerney: 'It's not your fault. It is your responsibility.' Nora McInerney: 'your grief doesn't expire and you don't have to be doing amazing' Nora McInerney: 'It's like when you are in the dark and you can see like one little point of light and focus on it, it does start to illuminate everything else.' Nora McInerney: 'People are so lonely. People are so lonely. Everybody is struggling.' Nora McInerney: 'You are very rarely as alone as you feel.'
