when we have a very very tough time and we can't keep standing like we really wanna fall down and rest for a while

When all people around you see what we have been going through is nothing at all, and its just that we are being childish

Is it ok for us to keep standing or just can we fall and rest ?

Is it ok for us to give no ear to what people say or just listen to them because they are the closest people to us ?

It seems strange that you post this here as a listener. I don't understand how it relates to listening. Perhaps it's about how important it is for listeners to be caring of themselves? That is certainly important for listeners (and for members, guests and therapists, too).

We have all been children, and in a sense there is a child in each one of us still. So to be childish in some ways is the norm.

The sense I get from your post is that you are writing about a specific situation without revealing the details, but that's just a guess. If my guess is in any way correct, then from your member account you could tell a listener about the details, and that might be a way to find answers within yourself to the questions you have.

I don't think it's about him being a listener... listeners here are humans and they have their own delimma as well

What you say is true. However, listeners who want to discuss their own issues should use their member accounts to do it, not their listener accounts. I don't know why that is, and I'm not sure I really agree with it, but it's the rule at 7 Cups.

you can rest your mind and body for a while, but you can NEVER NEVER give up or lose the track! because if you lost for a while, you'll continoue losing it and can never go back to the right track!!

about listining to others, I know it's a society issue in your case where parents have lots of power on their children, but remeber that you chose who you want to listen to, process what they say in your head, take everything they say into account when making a decision, but listen only to yourself.

On this point I completely disagree. I know many people who have become lost for a time, even for a very long time, but who eventually return and live wonderful lives. To fall down, or to become lost, is not the end. Far from it! It can be a chapter in your story from which you turn a page and move on.

Of course, I am in the proviliged position of knowing many people who have had good professional help. I also know that it's not easy. not even with good professional help.

my respond was to this specific member because he seem to be on the track and only tired of fighting...

I also know some people who were on track and when they went off it, they were lost forever.... some even have lost their lives and could never come back to fix it!

I'll say it again... take a break, loose it a bit, enjoy your life... but when you go back to whatever battle you're going through... GO BACK STRONGER!
