I’ve got a semi-serious problem and it’s called I don’t know how to react to bad news. Whether it concerns me or someone it just telling me about something upsetting in their life, I don’t know what to do. I’ve got a problem where my immediate reaction is to smile and I always feel like a bitch when it happens. The other night my friend was telling me about something going on in his life and I seriously didn’t know what to say. I said I was sorry and that was it. I didn’t even know what to say to relate to him, even though I can now think of a million things I could have said. I was so happy when our other friend came back to our table so we stopped talking about it. It makes me feel so terrible and like a bad person.
