how to respond to a confession
Hey Helper! What should I do if someone confesses their feelings to me?
Firstly, it's important to listen carefully and let the person express their feelings without interrupting them. It shows respect and understanding. A confession is a moment of vulnerability for them.
What if I don't feel the same way?
That's okay too. Everyone's feelings are valid and it's important to be honest. Be gentle and clear in your response. You can appreciate their courage to confess, yet convey that your feelings don't mirror theirs.
Should I avoid the person if I can't reciprocate their feelings?
Avoiding someone may cause misunderstanding and hurt. It's better to continue treating them with kindness, while maintaining your boundaries. Just behave naturally and remember, it's alright to need some space.
What if they keep insisting?
In such a case, it's important to hold your ground and remind them of your stance in a respectful manner. If they can't respect your feelings, then you may need to consider how to healthy limit or terminate the relationship.
