#

there is a difference between balanced 50/50 relationship dynamic

#

and making everything about yourself

#

if you respond to her feeling bad with "yeah i have that too" and nothing else, of course thats invalidation and being a bad friend

#

but if you comfort and validate her, after thatu can share whats going on in yourself, and u should, if you wont the relaitonship dynamic is going to be off, and u will get more and more burned out

#

there has to be reciprocity, you arent a therapist, neither is she the patient

#

that being said, if you dont feel comfortable with sharing yet, and you need to build more trust, just tell her, she will definitely respect it
