...you think this isn't something obvious. "We were able to do some analyses that showed that having disclosed to someone else (family or friends) and then not feeling supported was linked with negative outcomes, and that those who had not disclosed to others were doing better than this group that disclosed and were not supported." In any circumstance where anyone tells someone who they care about something about them and they are met with a negative response, the person is going to be upset. For instance, if you introduced a new partner to your parents and they didn't like him/her, that is obviously going to upset you because you likely value your parents perspective. I mean its not rocket science. ;) |
