Booing doesn't belong in sport full stop, just don't do it, ever. The referee of the Matildas game called a goal kick when it should have been a corner but you didn't have anyone booing, people questioned the call "how could you not see that", the players tried to challenge the call, but nobody booed.
Story sharing and vulnerability are the way towards better mental health. Deep connection is the way to go, but people are afraid of it.
I think people are afraid of being hurt, of being rejected, not being liked, being abandoned. This can come from childhood or from previous relationships.
But mostly I think people are too afraid for people to know the real them, in fear of not being liked.
Thanks Benny for the thoughtful addendum. It’s hard to understand how mental health effects other people without a Freaky Friday style swap... We can only really speak from our own experiences and listen to other’s experiences with an open mind.
How good was Tom Hooper!!

Why do you think people are afraid of it?

I 100% agree. People lack the courage to be themselves. Why do you think that is?
Judgement and shame, either through past experience or witnessing someone else for being judged or shamed for similar.
The media is known for it and social media has exacerbated it because it's so much easier to put people down rather than understanding.
