Re: These are the deep questions in life, y'all.

[(Anonymous)]

"If I tell them I'm there for them and they can come to me with anything the day after we meet, will they run?"

Maybe. I would, if we'd only just met because a near-stranger offering to take on so much of your emotional burden feels... weird. And possibly dodgy. As cynical and unkind as this sounds, I'd question your motives and would be highly unlikely to take you up on your offer because I'd find it hard to believe that someone who barely knows me would be willing to do so much.

"How long should I wait?"

Until you've developed a strong, healthy relationship where you regularly share personal problems with that person? There's no set length of time that makes it kosher, it depends on what sort of relationship you have with this person.


Don't get me wrong, I think it's fantastic you empathize and want to help, but I think a more effective approach is to just offer to listen/talk/vent-- IF they want/need you to. A little of "I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time. If you need to talk or vent, I'm here" will go a long way. Coming on too strong is likely to make people clam up.
