I'm not going to just abandon people but I need to prioritize my needs and my life. I can't be ruining my own future and well-being so that someone can get serotonin and "feel good"
-
You know what, I have free will and I'm going to use it. I know what I need right now and I'm going to get that and come back stronger
-
Ah I needed that
-
oh my god sorry to butt in but literally same here.
i feel like my friends just like use me as the therapist because they assume i dont have problems (i do but only gtq hears abt them), and it's just DRAINING and i hate it.
all i can say is that you can both comfort your friends and not be a therapist if yk what i mean. I just mean that if something happens to a friend, and they talk about it with you, you're allowed to give them advice or just chat with them. But if you ever feel like they come to you for everything, and expect you to sit around, listening to every single one of their problems, while never asking about you, then you should talk to them about it.
i personally went through it, but never ended up having an actual conversation about how i hated being their therapist. i kind of just made myself less appealing of a person to talk to about that kind of stuff. to the point where they only came to me for problems that they thought i would respond to well. -
Oh my goodness it's such a relief to hear I'm not alone 😭 yeah I think I need to prioritize myself bc I won't even be able to give others my all if I'm constantly drained
Also you might consider setting healthy boundaries with people who keep using you as therapy like "hey I'd appreciate if you asked before venting, that way you can know if I'm emotionally available or not" yknow?? -
yess but i always feel like it's so hard to talk to people and sit them down and like tell them that, because even though it seems easy, it can be like the hardest thing
-
Exactly! And whenever you tell someone they're like "oh just talk to them about it" like asjkfsm there's nothing JUST about it bc it's pretty stressful and some people don't seem to get that :')
But yeah it's really really tough and awkward but if they don't know then it won't get better so its just pretty tough all around -
Would love to rest but unfortunately I live in the real world where we have to do real world things

Having to be cheerful and peppy while talking to someone online when irl you're dying inside is an experience
-
Love to see that, as always, no one can talk about Christianity without another religion being screamed over it
-
Every time someone makes a comment like "God is so good!" there are always scores of people who go "God isn't real! You're an idiot! Hail Satan!" like wow, congratulations, you're a jerk
-
It's perfectly fine not to be Christian but if you constantly mock or belittle anyone who is then you genuinely disgust me
-
