Everyone wants to be understood, and NO it's not weird.

there is a word for that.... empathy Empathy is the capacity to recognise or understand another's state of mind or emotion. It is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes", or to in some way experience the outlook or emotions of another being within oneself. It may be described metaphorically as an emotional kind of resonance or mirroring. http://www.watchtower.org/e/20020415/article_01.htm

No it isn't weird. I want ppl who know what I am going through to give me advice, rather then someone that has never dealt with it. This is why they have inspirational speakers at conferences that can give you a real answer with out blowing smoke up your (well you know). You are lucky if you can find someone to relate with to find help, but those ppl aren't very lucky and you should just make sure you are understanding and support to them as they are to you. Good luck!;-}

I think it's human nature to feel a persons pain or want to help someone if you can. I don't think it's weird. talking about things can help rather than bottling it all in.
