I'm so sick of being the therapist friend. Most of my friends, especially my best friend, have problems and vent to me about them, even though they have licensed therapists they can talk to. Whenever they text and ask me "Can I vent?" I want to say no so badly, but I'm TERRIFIED of being a bad friend, so I say yes. The thing that pisses me off is that they type a whole five paragraph vent that takes me a few minutes to read. And I am HORRIBLE at comforting people, so I don't even know why they vent to me. So I always say something along the lines of "I'm so sorry that happened and I'm here for you" like, it's obvious I suck at comforting, so why the hell are they venting? Besides like I said they have a therapist. Vent to them, not me! I'm sorry, but I can't always help them. I have problems too. I won't get into them right now, but I just have all these feelings building up and it's leading me to depression and I can't take it anymore. I needed to let it out somehow.
