The person who is telling the story is often called the narrator. It could be the main character in a first - person narrative, sharing their own experiences directly. For example, in 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden Caulfield is the narrator, and we see the story unfold through his eyes.
It could be that they have a pessimistic outlook or have faced many hardships that shape their narratives. Maybe they haven't found the positive in situations yet and focus on the sad parts.
Don't interrupt them when they are talking. Let them finish their story. Then, share your thoughts and feelings in a gentle and non - judgmental way. You can also offer some positive perspectives, but don't be pushy. For example, you can say 'I know it's tough right now, but I also see that you are a strong person and you've come this far, you can get through this too.'
We can learn about the events that are taking place in the story. The narrator will describe what is happening, who is involved, and where it is all going on.
Well, a marriage story can have various tones. It could be sad if there are major conflicts and breakdowns, but it could also have elements of hope and growth.
Not necessarily. A sad soul may have other aspects to their personality or experiences that are not sad. They might have some happy memories or positive relationships that they could incorporate into their stories. Also, a person with a sad soul might not want to burden others with their sadness and so might tell a more upbeat story.
Well, sometimes it's hard to let go of the things that made you sad. It could be that I don't have enough positive distractions in my life right now. So, I keep going back to that sad story, almost like it's a habit.
