Oh yes. A lot of people are in pain and they hide it away, inflicting damage to others. I can only wish those kind of people healing. It is indeed interesting to watch the human nature and how it reveals itself into roles on a social platform

Perhaps they think they hide it away. Damaged people are pretty easy to spot through their behavior.

People need to take responsibility for their own well-being.

Yeah, if you can't make yourself happy, nobody will. I see around me a lot of people pretending from others "make me happy". This hides such an inner void that no one could fill than yourself. Responsability starts within. If only more would practice this self awareness. Like ok, you are not happy with yourself. Then start asking some questions. Why? What can you do about it? How to take action? I try to choose people to be around me who can take this responsability because I know that if they are cool with themselves and improve, they will be a good presence. This kind of people are rare. And they are worth keeping and cultivating those friendships once you find them.

I believe that if a person needs another to be happy, they are going to have some major issues in relationships. The saying of "love yourself first" means being able to go into a relationship without needs - which makes for a much healthier relationship.
