comforting

Description

To comfort is to wrap raw anxiety in a bandage of words, staging a fleeting sense of relief. It pays no heed to real solutions, instead stealthily sowing fresh seeds of doubt. The comforted recite the mantra ‘Everything is fine’ while waiting for the next wave of worry. Is it a soulful performance or a cunning mind trick? Once you hear ‘Don’t worry,’ you’re trapped in its gentle snare. Example usage: The manager comforted the team by forbidding time off and adding ‘I expect more next time.’
