It's not wrong. I have very few friends I actually see, at this point. I hang out with the ones who are there for me the same as I'm there for them. The other ones....I have so much do deal with on my own, dealing with just me. If I can't expect to be able to get things out around certain people, why the hell should I be their venting post? I care about them, but the truth is I don't think they even need my help. There are ones that do, and I will be there for them every single time but these guys. I don't want to hear about how your boyfriend doesn't put the seat down. I don't care if he plays video games all of the time. You want to vent about that, sure go ahead but you've vented to twelve different people, posted it on social media and have told me for the second time that day (and you don't seem to remember that you did). What happens next week when I have a breakdown and don't know what real and what's a flashback; they sure as hell aren't there. I text or call that I need some help and I get a "I'm sorry I'm busy." or an "I'm sorry, I've been drinking." Seriously? And then next week they call, not to check up on me, they go straight into the venting about how terrible their damn life is.
As you can probably tell, this is a heated topic for me. I hate it and now a lot of "friends" don't like me right now because I started telling them the same **** they say to me. I completely agree with you. As I've told you in a past post, you have to care for yourself; this is part of that. You deserve to be able to talk to someone the same way you listen to others.
