so lately, a lot of ppl have been talking with me, which is great! i haven’t dmmed so many people in… well, ever. i’ve made friends, bonded over stuff, laughed, etc. and i always tell my buds that they can always vent to me about anything bc i’ll keep it all to myself and not judge them over whatever they say. but… lately i’ve started to feel drained. i love helping my buds, i truly do, but all this negativity is starting to have its toll on me. i’m always stressed bc i wanna help them get out of their sticky situations, but i s*** at giving advice and i can only try to cheer them up for so long. i am now feeling the need to vent myself, but literally everyone i’ve ever spoken to is not having a good time and i don’t wanna add to their stress, so in the end, i just keep it all in. i really feel the need to let others know i’m not okay, but is it selfish of me to want to talk about how i’m feeling? isn’t it egoistical to take away the source of relief of multiple people just bc i’m feeling a little under the weather?
