I talked to a friend, and she said that she was having mental illness, that she was hearing voices inside her head, voices blaming her and ambushing her and that she was having a lot of internal struggles that forced her to avoid seeing people. She admitted that she was sick. I was freaked out after listening to that, more reasons why we do not always want to know everything inside people's brain sometimes. But I try to be a psychologist to my friends sometimes because it comes naturally to me to inquire about people's lives and to be interested in their deepest thoughts.
There is a line though, I've realized. A lot of the things I hear tend to stay with me. Eventhough others vent out these feelings, but they somehow get integrated into my thoughts and bother me and forces me into a state of unrest. I need to take a break and breathe some air or I will be otherwise seriously in trouble.
