Short excerpt from a YouTube conversation between Chris Collins and Justin Wenzel in which they discuss how sharing personal stories reduces loneliness and helps others feel understood and cared for. The speakers emphasize the profound impact of someone telling their story and the connection it creates when it reaches the right person.
I mean, the thing about you telling your story is it makes other people feel like they're not alone, Right?
Totally.
Like, I mean, your brother saving you is.
In a lot of ways the same thing as somebody feeling like somebody cares. Because really, when you're feeling that alone, what you feel like is nobody understands or cares. Yeah.
And when you're in it, there is no more. There's no lonelier feeling than. Than that.
So when you tell your story and it connects with the right person.
I mean, I don't know if there's anything more powerful than that.
They're saying is we recover out loud for those who suffer in silence.
