So Gabriel, an archangel, who was tortured by a prince of hell became catatonic afterwards. But Sam, a human, was tortured for years by the actual devil came out the other side trying to reassure everyone around him that he wa fine???
No,
He got helped by Castiel, who then got helped again
It’s how a team works
Supporting each other not blaming each other
Wait, how did Cas help Sam when Sam came back from hell? Cas broke his wall. That’s the opposite of helping.
Fixing that sacrificing himself taking Sam’s pain in exchanging place
Cas “sacrificed” himself because he was the one who broke Sam in the first place. In addition, when Cas (an angel) took over Sam’s pain he was immediately incapacitated, while Sam was still talking (albeit very confusingly) and at least semi-aware of what was happening around him
