Last night my brother had broken something of my mom's that her mom gave her while she was alive. So my mom was really devastated because it had sentimental value to her. So she was really breaking down and sobbing and I'm sitting in the next room wondering what to do. Situations like this make me very uncomfortable because I don't know how to deal with extreme emotions from others. I wish I did, but it just doesn't come naturally. My instinct is to go in to fight or flight mode when this happens. All the while I was wondering if I should say something. I did ask her what happened and she just told me and went back to crying. Should I give her a hug or what? If I did that I know it just wouldn't feel genuine. I also had something in mind to say to her, but I knew it probably wouldn't be a good thing to say, so I decided to keep my mouth shut. I also worried she'd be angry with me for not doing anything. I do care, I just don't know how to express it. She never got angry with me though. Why should she? She was angry at my brother because he didn't even say he was sorry. He just walked away. Although he could be like me in that he doesn't know how to deal with emotions. My dad is also the same, but surprisingly he was being comforting to my mom. He's usually a pretty emotionless person. So afterward my mom stopped crying and talked to me about the situation. I was glad she wasn't angry with me.
I downloaded the game Moonwalker last night, and surprise surprise I suck at it, but it's still fun to play. I did manage to get past the first stage...once. But Michael has gotten beaten up by gangsters countless times. :( The game cracks me up. I made a video of me sucking at the game for my "Sucking At Games" series. Here it is
