This is very true. Take the time out to ask how people are doing. They won’t mind. I appreciated it when I had my problems around 5/6 years ago. Show each other kindnesses.
And if you do have a problem don’t be scared to ask for help. It took me a while to admit what was wrong with me. The good news is you can get better.
Yes, when you feel isolated, that sort of genuine empathy really helps. You are ashamed and scared and feeling that someone understands and gets is a massive relief .
Our party has a leader who really gets this, as did the previous one .As doe Norman Lamb in all he does for these issues.
Terrific point Tim makes , ask someone how they are and mean it, stick around to find out, that is very well put Tim !
Far too few emphasise the personal Liberal qualities of human individual , as well as political , genuine understanding. A politics for people is about the person.
