Why do some people become very affected by certain experiences and other do not?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I think some people find it harder to let go of some parts of the past and I guess we do all react differently to certain situations and while some people can brush off broken relationships or people picking on them others do take things more to heart. It sounds like he was maybe left to stew over the various things at the time and didn’t really talk about it or get things off his chest and this may have helped both at the time and now. I think it maybe also depends upon how long the different issues went on for as well and as for bullying at school I guess it was maybe around the time where people start to develop and his development was supressed to a certain extent. You often find that people like this do want to make friends, but that first step is extremely difficult because those negative thoughts come into their mind immediately so they back off. If he is quiet by nature then it makes it even harder. His trust problems to me sounds like he has built too big and too thick a wall and now he finds it hard to break through that wall. The fact he has let you in to his inner circle is encouraging and he must see something in you that lets him know you are different. I think (there appears to be a lot of thinking in my answer) that the best thing to do is to accept he finds it hard to make friends but do still encourage him to at least try and use yourself as an example of how not everybody is out there to cause trouble.
