Where there is noise, laughter and entertainment all participate and enjoy. But when person is sad, many times we respect the privacy of that person and leave her to be alone. Some may not like to be sympathized. They may love to bear their pain silently and may not like to be interrogated over.
Even then intimate and true friends do participate in the pain and suffering of a person. I remember having read a thought of Mother Thesesa of Calcutta. We do so much business ouside and even become famouse outside by our social work, but we do not have time to look into the eyes of those who share our home and we have no courage to start a conversation with them.
In many homes, there are people who share the joy but leave the person alone when she or he is handicapped. Sharing the feeling of the others, just looking into their eyes and giving them a gentle smile can erase the tears from the eyes of a person who suffers. God pays us back with so much blessings, when we show our goodness to those who cannot pay us back.

It depends upon person to person.
If a person wants to bear the pain silently than others have little scope to share his or her pain.
If he decides to share his or her sorrows s/he might find some solution to his/her problem.
We on our part should always be ready to give helping hand to those who are suffering.

I respect the privacy of the person. I am willing to listen to the pain of others but i do not really give advice. I am there to listen and listen and talk to the person.
As i do it to myself, i am not a type of person to share my problem or pain and tend to keep it to myself. I do not want to have others to share it and i want to keep it and cry.
Listening to the other person sharing his/her pain is a feeling that i felt this person trusted me to share his/her pain.
I am willing to lend my ears to the other person to help her/him ease it somehow if i can not help by giving advice.
