Compassion

Compassion is a person’s sensitivity to the problems of others, motivates them to go out of their way to help. In today’s busy world, everyone is subject to complicated life situations, the lack of people to trust and confide in, results in feeling lonely, experiencing anxiety or depression.

A compassionate friend allows us to project our fears, our faults and confusions onto them, they make us feel important, heard and more secure in our standing. A friend will be able to commiserate with us mostly due to having experienced similar situations or helped others who have.

We try to make friends with those who are similar to us when we need reassurance, someone to understand our personal opinion and agree with it, we are friends with people who are more dissimilar in case we appreciate a different outlook (in most cases, exclude minor squabbles).

Their suggestions might be the precise idea we need to know but in most cases, it gives us a different perspective which aids us in attempting to solve our own problems. We all need friends who are concerned about us to sought solace in.
