How do you prefer to be comforted when you're upset?

Dinenenin, /jokes. Maybe, If they could give me a little space to calm down and, after things are back to normal, maybe a hug from someone I really love would be lovely.

it’s best to give me some time alone until i’m less overwhelmed then we can have a serious talk again.

I prefer to be given time for myself to calm down a bit. It would be lovely to talk afterward. I could burst out my emotions, which I don't want to.

It’s simple to comfort me, all I need is some reassurances and a good fu… ture. A good future.

It varies depending on the situation. Sometimes, I find comfort in hugs or kisses, while other times, I prefer to have some alone time, just by myself.

Rather than being comforting, I need my space to process everything first. Being disappointed is one of the most crucial things that turns me off. So honestly, it's difficult to make me back to normal after that. Aside from an acknowledgment of their fault and an apology, I also need reassurance repeatedly. Only when I've felt a little better, then I'll accept that comforting itself. A cuddle is usually effective for me.

Hug me. Buy me an ice cream, then explain the root of the problem clearly. And I won't be upset anymore. 🤝

I rarely go upset but when I do I would rather find a getaway, a distraction, keeping myself busy and entertained

Instead of being comforted, I'll let myself have some space, supaya tenang dan lebih nyaman sama diri sendiri dulu.

I want to be heard when I'm upset. A pat on the head could be an amazing additional, along with cuddles too. In conclusion, I want to be pampered.

Honestly instead of being comforted I’d rather being left alone just so I can cool down first.

I prefer to be comforted through gentle reassurance and understanding words, maybe accompanied by a warm hug or just someone being there to listen without judgment will make me better.
