POV: you’re tired of being the therapist friend

[Comet_Hearts]

This hurts knowing how accurate this is. I had a friend that I cherish dearly to my heart almost commit suicide about 5-7 times. I really love her but god it can get so *so* tiring to have to always be the one they go to

[Minhosairfryerr]

You know I just realized how accurate this is. Im just tired of it. They always come to me in school if they had a bad fight with someone and they even try to f cking put me against my other friends by saying stuff like "you agree with me not right!?!" I'm just sick and tired of it. I'm to the point where I just want to be alone and not carry all of this on my shoulders. And on top of this I have a friend I have known for years and he has triedcommitting suicide, I know I shouldbe their for him but I'm really sick of it.(Sorry for all of this, didn't need to make this about me)

[T_Teobokki]

I really want to help them, I swear! but I'm so tired, sometimes is like they don't even want to get better or even learn from their mistakes, and it's so tiring.

[oblivion]

In the end,

one found some1 who listens.

one can’t find some1 to listen.

[sillyflowercat]

sometimes people just feel tired and need someone to comfort them

[peachypufff]

this is…way too accurate. i literally had to stop making online friends (i had too many back then) because i always attracted depressed people or people with trauma or some other mental illness or disorder. plenty of them always boldly contemplated suicide, then would ghost me, then would act as if nothing happened at all. it always gave me anxiety attacks because i never wanted anyone to die, i have a huge savior complex and because i would automatically shift the blame onto myself because i should’ve been taking care of that friend more properly. the young me constantly helping everyone in need grew up to be kind and understanding and loving, of course, but my view on the world started to turn jade, and i felt myself close up more and more and come up with more excuses as to not have to help…

[yxytrophile]

This actually freaking hurts BECAUSE i have no one to tell my problems i tell my bff but also she is a bit annoyed and i think i should stop telling her my problem

[kleekim_]

i like being the therapist friend even though i have to vent aswell
it allows me to save them by coping with me

and so i dont need to see that tragedy repeated again
(fly high jade 🕊️)

[Boombox]

I m always the therapist friend..irl friends or online, they always vent to me. I dont really mind them venting to me but sometimes i wanna vent too, i get tired and exhausted sometimes tho ofc i love my friends but its just that i wanna vent too but i know they arent gonna care ig and i have no one else to talk to.

[mysterious-mystical]

This is why my online friends are awesome it goes both ways

[Reddit_Stories]

This is wayyyy to accurate and relatable. Almost everyday they come to me complaining about things going wrong in their life and any time I go to speak up they just talk a little louder till I stop talking. Unfortunately there's been too many midnight texts and calls of me comforting them, yet cant get anyone to answer my texts after school. Like they'll be chatting then I text something and they'll suddenly stop. Too many times Ive cried myself to sleep. They don't understand yelling and screaming. Their screaming is their parents getting mad at them for something and screaming for me is my dad telling me over and over how I'm not good enough and how we might not be able to eat tomorrow (I'm the youngest idk why I felt the need to include this tho). They get overdramatic over how they keep failing classes, and Im always there to help tutor them. At lunch all I'm used for is asked what is happening in the class and gimme the homework then Im ignored. A girl who I thought was my best friend keeps going to another girl going on about how their best friends, yet she comes to me with every problem that occurs. And I'm really sorry about ranting, its just that I feel like no one else knows what Im going through and I cant tell any of my friends bc they'll talk over me with their own problems.

P.S. Some of my other friends that Ive known for a really long time, Im know being told they are really mean to the friends Im talking about in the paragraph above.

[Jasminepovs]

I’m the one who needs to let it out but I don’t want my best friend to feel this way so I just told her what happend and never let anything out.

[glitch_the_dragon]

This is way too relatable! Being the therapist friend in my group, I have grown used to abandoning myself for others! Lol

[Ur_Hallucination]

I'm constantly listening and trying to cheer up people and I don't have anyone to talk to at this point. I'm constantly seeing my friend bashing me on her status for not caring enough and im honestly so tired.

[Run-With-Wind]

I'm so tired of this, like this is so true, like not being mean to my friends or shit, but I just want them to listen once... but I break, my heart is in a million pieces and the only people who listen voluntary is my sister and therapist. I love my bsfs but I want to be able to vent to them. Without them thinking I'm over dramatic or I don't care about them, bc I do. I only have 2 people I can go to. Some people have 1 or none, I know im a Lil lucky to have had 2. I'm listening to a vent Playlist and crying rn. It feels good to finally be able to cry tbh, and I'm that friend that is always fine and no sadness, but it's a plastered face.... and they don't understand....

[Splitzz-]

If I was you instead of letting my friend cry about all there problems I would want to help them overcome that problem and if they do the same mistakes over and over again then just confront it to them, and I always like to think that they probably deserve what’s happening to them 😊

[natashadecarlo]

I hate being the friend who always listens, and if someone feels bad, no matter what I'm doing I stop and help them with whatever they need, But when I need help and they're busy, they don't care, they just say"I can't right now, let's talk later" and it's really annoying.

[Limerant_Evangeline]

Fr. Im in a vent server and we’re all one big family. I love all of my siblings and i know my dad counting on me to help my siblings when he cant be online. but jts tiring. sometimes i’ll literally be on the floor crying, and ill get a notification and i have to help them. Or i might never get to help them again. :/ Times be like that ig.
its still my job to help them. and ill never stop. and im here for anyone else who needs to vent ^^

[ougmhnb]

i usually don’t answer when getting too tired

[ann._xp-fr]

I have these two friends, they recently have a fight (a serious one). They both vent to me (they both have mental disorders too). I listened to both's pov, I talked to them through call and typed a paragraph of message to comfort them. I am going through a lot but I don't want to burden them w/ my problems. I want them to listen to me too...I am tired.
