Hey guys, welcome back to the Ask Joseph Q&A. Now, in this question I had from Mohammed,

Mohammed said, when someone close to you gets hurt or insulted, you might feel sad or bad for them.

Is there anything that we can do in such situations for them and for ourselves?

Would appreciate you doing a video about that or this

question here. So let's go straight for it. So it's very, very common if we feel very

connected with someone, if they're going through struggles or they're going through stresses

or they're not living their life the way they want to and they're

verbally expressing that or we see them experiencing some form of let's say being hurt or insulted

it's very easy for us to get down as well and now we know that feeling down ourselves is not

going to help the situation it's

actually going to cause us to feel emotionally and even physically unwell and we

can't really support that person so this is what I do in my life because when you

think about it I receive many many emails every day people saying about

their issues.

And these can be very conflicted issues from feeling very anxious, depressed, worried,

low self-esteem, and I get it all.

And also, naturally, in my own life, people gravitate toward me for help.

I mean, it's just saying what I do, and you're probably

someone like that as well. So, here's what I do. First of all, I have to realize that their

experience right now does not have to be my experience. And I say that with the greatest sense of

wanting to help that person, Because if I take ownership over their experience or their heard, then I'm just literally taking that on for myself.

And that disempowers me.
