So basically i had been best friends with this girl and we would always hang out. I told her that she could tell me anything. So, she started venting and I would always listen to her no how many times she got into trouble. Days went by and I started feeling like our friendship but nothing more than just venting. I didn't feel like it was a real friendship because we would never laugh and I was also fed up with being the therapist friend. She was really kind and sweet but at some point I felt drained. So, eventually I distanced myself from her. I was her only friend. So leaving her made feel really guilty especially because she had told me all about her problems(like family issues) and i left her just like that. It's making me very worried because this week, there was a suicide case about a girl. And it made me think of my ex best friend. What if she's going through the same thing? What if she also does something to herself?

hai
it does sound draining to be in ur position, to be a therapist friend
but in this situation it wasnt a, when theyre happy they dont talk to you and when theyre sad they come to u type of thing
in my perspective she had nobody else to talk to and having you as their only friend, they used the opputurnity that they saw they had
resulting in venting everytime you guys talk
and the thing is she might have not even realised what she was doing
One way to do this is to talk to her again and confront her of her behaviour, have a sit with her and tell her how u feel
if that succeeds, you could continue in initiating hangouts at different places that would keep her preoccupied like a park, museum or just a picnic
We haven't been talking at all at the moment so it will definitely take a while for me to go up to her and talk
But yeah I'll try that
Tysm🎀
i wish u luck when u do talk to her
ofc!
