Quote by Lou Holtz

Don't tell your problems to people: eighty percent don't care; and the other twenty percent are glad you have them.

Don't tell your problems to people: eighty percent don't car

Summary

This quote highlights the unfortunate reality that many people may not genuinely care about the problems and struggles others are facing. The majority of individuals might lack the empathy or interest to truly listen and lend support. Even worse, there could be a fraction of people who find pleasure or satisfaction in witnessing someone else's misfortunes. It serves as a cautionary reminder to carefully choose who we confide in, sparing ourselves from potential indifference or even disdain for our troubles.
