to all the good listeners, friend group moms, note sharers, first benchers and therapist friends i hope you, your anxiety, and your fear of being needed but never wanted are doing well

[prettybaby-inc]

i can’t remember the last time someone asked me something about myself

[girl-that-writes]

being the therapist friend is great and all and I know that empathy can't run out but you know what?

it can deplete from time to time.

yeah, it'll get refilled but till it does? do you have any left for yourself? the most important person and friend in your life? do you have any patience left for yourself? the kindness you need?

etching a boundary and knowing when to stop giving isn't being selfish.

it's really just taking care of your own self.

the facade of being the happy-go-lucky friend with nothing bothering me is slowly yet very surely crumbling

[r3dcore]

oh, you're the therapist friend?

how does it feel not being able to vent to your friends because you feel excessively guilty pushing your own feelings onto others when you're supposed to be the one helping them?

[deesi-academia]

Sorry for reacting on the spot and speaking my true feelings. That wasn't very empath-therapist-friend of me.

[oneforsorrowtwoformirth717]

I always feel so guilty when I get so burnt out that I can’t support the people around me. Like-

I am a helper, a protector, the therapist friend, the shoulder to cry on, the easy kid, the understanding one, the quiet one, the convenient and reliable one, etc etc etc

Who am I if not those things? What is my identity without those things? When I find myself without those qualities I feel like I failed at being the person I told everyone I was.

Yknow how when horses break a leg you have to shoot them bc they literally cannot recover and do the one thing they’re meant to? Yeah

I know I shouldn’t but I feel so fucking *sorry* when I can’t be there for other people, and so so much worse when I have to rely on *them*.

I swear being weak and being hurt I’m still the person I am. I’m still a person I’m still a person I’m still a person I’m-

[words-never-spoken]

are you okay?

are you okay?

are you okay?

how are you?

what's wrong?

my mouth opens

repeated words slip off my tongue

the same questions

the same answers

no, no, no

i'm here for you i say

and wonder in my head

if i'm here in heart or in vain

and who's there to ask me if i'm okay?

-k.c.

[gay-xylophone]

why can’t people fucking understand that i’m not ok either you can’t just rely on me for all of your issues and act like i don’t have them too like im here for you but also I FUCKING WISH I WASN’T ON THIS FUCKING PLANET

[love-and-books320]

Being the mom friend but not in a responsible and has snacks way but like telling your friends your proud of them and happy for them a lot and validating their feelings while helping them calm down and giving advice 

[theambivertedsnail1989]

Do you ever just feel like a side character?

"If no one is listening, am I making any sound at all?"
