Emotional ContagionBy: Gabriel Orozco Pangtay
Samantha. I'm home!''Hears crying''Samantha??
A mystery
Why are you crying?
Damian! I didn't know you were home. Mm..nothing I'm fine. ''Sniffs''
A revelation
No, I heard you crying. Something's not right. What happened?
I...I don't even know what's wrong with me. On the past weeks I've been watching videos of people who lost all her friends and I suddenly start crying over it.
As Damian comes home from school, he hears he's sister crying out loud on her room. He runs desperately to know what happened.
The crackdown
Samantha. You need to realize that is another person's life. It doesn't have anything to do with your life. Also, your friends were asking me about you. You haven't hang out with them since last month. After Samantha's answer: Samantha, being away from your friends will make you lose them and you've been doing this for one whole month! Perhaps we should take this to a more expert person.
It's just that. During the last weeks I've been so worried that the same thing that happened to the girl will happen to me. I don't want to lose my friends.
It appears that you have Emotional Contagion. A mental condition in which the emotions that others' transmit are severely reflected on you. I'll give you a medicine prescription to take care of your anxiety. It is important for you to acknowledge that it's someone else's life. Not yours. Especially on social media.
As soon as Damian enters he's room, he watches how his sister is sitting in front of her computer crying over a video
A solution
Ok. :(
Damian acknowledges the truth and finds out his sister is crying over a video. He's shocked for her exaggerated reaction.
Epilogue
Sorry girls. I realized what I was doing was wrong and I hope I can make it up to you.
Samantha reveals the truth to his brother and this one is upset about Samantha's mental health. He decides to take her to a place...
That actually makes sense. Thank you so much doctor for helping my sister.
As both brother and sister attend a doctor's appointment, they acknowledge the truth.
As Samantha reunites with her friends once again, Damian is so happy she's finally happy again. ''Another happy ending''. The End
It's okay Samantha! It's so nice you aren't mad at us!
