Is it normal horrible at comforting others
I'm a young woman and for my entire life which is basically childhood and teenhood, I have been incredibly bad at comforting others when they are sad or something. When a friend of mine expresses such emotions, I feel intense discomfort and am completely unsure of what to do. I also feel very uncomfortable with saying reassuring words or providing a hug etc. I have been like this since i was a kid. Could this be the result of how I was raised or what?
