I see, thanks for sharing your perspective.

As for my friend and I, she normally does this in the middle of just casual conversations. I go to her if I need help because she tells me to, but I definitely don’t constantly talk about my issues. I’ve
even straight up asked her if I did too much and she said no and that I’m allowed to share my feelings. She has also spoken to me a lot about her issues in the past and I know I’ve given her a lot of emotional support. Even just in the last few weeks I’ve asked how she’s doing, wished her well on exams and things. She’ll mention she’s stressed and I’ll ask if she’d like to get anything off her chest but she sort of just changes the subject so I don’t know.

I will try and be more forgiving though because I know I should be a better friend.
