None of us knows that things are going to be alright. To suggest it will be is a lie. Chances are, things are going to get worse. . . much worse.
I get it. I like honesty. And I am not receptive to coddling. But that above quote as true as it may be, goes both ways.
We dont necessarily know it isnt going to be alright either.
So I am sure thats why we share our own experiences instead of telling someone that this is def going to happen. Even if someone does keep going the path they are doesnt mean it is going to get worse or better. No one knows for sure.
But for a newcomer especially. I think its good for the initial support to be positive and supportive to keep them interested.
When are we getting our thanks button back??!!
