I've always had a hard time making friends, but recently I've become friends with one of my co-worker.s She's about the same age as me but very outgoing and always carrying on a conversation (something I have a really hard time doing). Maybe because we are opposites we get along so well. I've been getting to know her more and more and am amazed at how positive she is.
A few days ago we went to a diner/bar and all of the sudden she burst into tears and talked about how stressed she's been and how anxious she's been feeling. She had an incredibly hard week. I did everything I could to make her feel better. The next day she was still stressed but seemed better.
I admired her because I saw that, whether she realized this or not, she was making a decision to be positive even though she had a horrible week. What struck me is that after she had, what she called a breakdown", we go outside and she says, "It's a beautiful day!" with a smile on her face. No she wasn't totally happy, but she was making that effort to see the positive even though things were pretty screwed up.
