QuestionWhat would you do if you saw a crying woman?
I was walking home from my gym, when I heard a loud scream, that cut through my headphones. I was ready to call the police or ask smb else to help, in case there was a man attacking a woman. Anyway, I turned off my podcast and heard some sobbing after the scream and I looked towards the sound and there was a young woman (19-20) crying on the grass in the trees and bushes along the road. There were no other people around, so the scream was from emotional pain, not physical. I walked towards her and asked what was wrong and if she needed any help. She said everything was alright and that she didn't need my help. I asked her if maybe I need to call someone and if I could do anything else for her. She seemed to be in so much emotional pain. Anyway, she turned my help down and I waited for a bit (in case she would change her mind) and then went home. But I couldn't keep listening to my podcast and I feel like I could've said sth different and that I could've helped her. The woman wasn't drunk and the were no liquor bottles next to her. She was just there, sitting on the grass with a backpack lying near and crying incessantly. I wish I could have done something for her. If I'd had some chocolate I would have offered it to her but I didn't. I am still thinking about her. What would you have done?
