my friend vents to me alll the time with no hesitation and i’m fine with it cause it’s mostly light. every time i try to bring something up that’s been bothering me or bothering both of us even if it’s “i just want you to listen you don’t have to give me advice” it’s always “i really don’t feel like talking about that right now”. at first i immediately like felt bad and what not because i didn’t mean to make them uncomfortable. but now im just so desperate to stop bottling things up i try to bring something up every day i just can’t take it anymore. also i love them they’re like the purest i promise i guess they struggle with this sorta thing i respect that although i do need someone to talk to and i don’t have anyone else
