The past week has been really difficult since my break - up. I feel so akward when people I especially don't know particularly well ask me if I'm okay. And sometimes I can tell they can probably see the sorrow in my face. I always say I'm okay, but it just makes me feel ten times worse when they ask and then I get paranoid about it as I don't want them to know or be concerned. This guy on the bus today got on and randomly sat next to me. At that moment I was feeling really dark and raw in particular and he just started chatting to me and joking with me. It was as if he noticed my sorrow and he made me smile. But I didn't say much back as I felt too crap.

I have had that happen to me before, and even done it myself. Sometimes its just nice to listen, and sometimes its just nice to have someone listen. Nothing wrong with spreading a little joy to clear the dark cloud away from that silver lining. You said the guy made you smile? Well he most likely has a smile on him too, he cheered someone up.
