Pov: You're tired of being the therapist friend

[Callie]

Being honest, I rather have “oh” “damn” other than silence. Whenever I vent they just keep quiet the entire time and just agree with me whenever I say something like “I just feel like I’m….blah blah” they would just be like “ok”

[Emiシ-ld]

Im the therapist best friend but my bestie isn't like this, she also comforts me when I'm down but not that often since she's always the one having tough times, also I'm sorry if you have friends like this, you've done almost everything to make them feel good about themselves and they don't do the same.

Mental health matters. You’re allowed to have feelings, just because others have it worse doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to feel sad. One of the girls in my class has cancer and I always thought how I was so selfish for feeling horrible about myself while there’s a girl in my class fighting for her life. But that’s not true. Mental health matters! 💕

when my friend was getting sad a LOT i was worrying and stressing out that i would do the wrong thing, but now I’m glad she’s feeling way better and we help each other out.

“I don’t see why you need a therapist, you seem fine.” -Friend of mine who always complains about literally everything that’s wrong with their life.

I don't call myself the 'therapist friend', I call myself the 'always there friend'.
Bruh there's like two people I comfort often and I'm so glad they at least try to return the favour.

[hadafarm]

This is literally me and my “best friend”. She comes to me with all her problems and expects me to have advice ready for her, but she never does the same

[KiraraColette]

The "therapist friend" should be anyone that's online at the moment.

[ShadowUnderscore]

As someone who was a therapist friend, sometimes it’s not worth constantly comforting people who don’t return the favor back. You are loved and supported, your feelings matter, don’t let those people invalidate your feelings.

I’m going to be honest
The reason why I’m the therapist friend is because I don’t want anyone to hear my issues
They do care about me, I just don’t want to put more on their plates.

[bi_alteanicon]

As the therapist friend, I can say this is true. All I get told is “Oof” and other things, like, 2 friends help me / try to help me, but still, one of those 2 friends often tell me “Oof”

[justanother_witheredrose]

As a person who’s bottled up my emotions more tightly than a pickle jar, it’s sometimes really hard being the therapist friend.

[maelsno.soundcloudlistener]

I always get “oof” whenever I talk about my feelings. I’m the therapist friend and I don’t really care for myself mentally, some times physically because I care for others more. It gets tiring and I was on the verge of quitting everything yesterday. I wish that there was someone for me too, another therapist friend because we can both help each other out.

*I thought I was the only one that got easily annoyed when a gachatuber/youtuber is venting their problems or is going through something horrible and then the comments under the video (or post) are mostly "and I oop" "oof" "rip" "omg same XD lol"* 🤦‍♀️

[wheelersconverse]

*tells me their problems*
“dont worry, itll get better i promise”
*tells them im literally crying*
*changes the subjects immediately*
“i feel like you dont take me seriously”
“its the way i text”
“oh..okay..”
how are you guys?

[MoonBase-]

This is a full mood. Especially when you feel like no one is there, you only have a few people, but you don’t want to dump everything onto them, since you’re supposed to be there for them

[JupiterTrixx]

I’m glad I have a friend who is my therapist once in a while when I’m feeling super down, I’m sorry you had “friends” that are like this, You don’t deserve that treatment, you deserve so much better, I hope you feel better soon, just know that we all are proud of you, just for living to this day and being yourself, keep on going, you got this, we love you 💜

[AceIsAnAngel]

I personally believe that friendship is being able to understand that you’ll have to help another friend, and they will do the same back. Even if someone’s problems are worse- or you feel like you’re a bother, they’ll always be there to go to. It should balance out- I vent when I need to, the other friend vents when they need to.

[evilfloydleech]

I know how this feels
I can comfort people
but when I can get triggered to, it’s happened so often and when I do try to help it just gets worse and I hate it.
But I can’t just stop comforting them, can I?

sorry, also thank you too all the therapist friends. You guys are so awesome and I’m so glad you guys exist. Keep going<3

[fishtaccos]

I cant even explain how accurate this is. It’s like, I give my friends paragraphs of messages that are especially written just for them and then when I vent they just say those things
