I know a guy like that.
A good friend actually, quiet, super nice and always ready to help anyone.
He took a lot of shit from bosses, landlords etc… a lot of stress.
Couldn’t get how he handled it, often said he needed to react when something happened for his own good but he just let it go every time, like some buddhist monk.
One time in a bar during a stressful period a little thing pushed him over the edge.
Totally snapped and wanted to fight everyone.
Nobody could believe how he was in that moment. I had to drag him out to calm him down.
Took some time to get him out of his fury but at once he broke and started crying on my shoulder.
It was also a lesson for me.
Just being available isn’t enough.
With some people you need tobe more attentive, read the small signs and get them to talk, they won’t do it by themselves even if they know they can.
