i dont understand peopleâs perception of friendship anymore. do you only want to get to know people on a surface level? just for cute instagrammable moments?Â
do you not care deeply about them and understand that they are complex human beings who experience a range of emotions?
your friend being vulnerable with you is not trauma dumping. you donât have to be a grief counselor to be there for your friend while they cry about a loved one dying. or just a rough time theyâre having.
i mean, do you only have deep discussions with a therapist and not friends or family? if so, thatâs weird tbfh and not utilizing therapy properly.
itâs all so incredibly bizarre to me. everyoneâs always talking about yearning and loneliness, but if a friend starts to cry about their dying grandma itâs like, âoop, girly i dont have the Headspace for that. hereâs my discount code for betterhelp.comâ weirdo shit tbh
