I'm gonna say something that's gonna make a certain sect of people really mad
The "Therapist Friend" should have never been normalized. I think the idea of having that one friend to delegate every little problem and take care of everyone in the group is extremely toxic and does more harm than good. Stop depending on people online to deal with your problems I am SO TIRED
It's one thing to fall on a rough patch and look for support in people you trust, that's completely fine! It's a WHOLE other thing to constantly depend on an online mediator regardless of if the problem is even in your control. It's a whole other thing to refuse proper professional help and continue to live in misery WHILE depending on PEOPLE, USUALLY CHILDREN, ONLINE TO PLAY THERAPIST. HOLY SHIT. I AM SO TIRED
FRIENDS ONLINE SHOULD NOT BE YOUR PARENTS OR THERAPIST
