    It really sucks to be unloaded on,i mean whose there to pick up the pieces when you need help right? and when you ask them for help, they never have time? Part of me wants me to say i understand, but it doesn't help at all. What i do usually is speak to strangers to unload, such as Omegle, where it's completely anonymous and there is someone listening, Cause sometimes all you need is someone to listen. Secondly, i guess the fact they do unload on you makes you a pretty great friend, as they trust you and feel you to have the best listening skills and advice to offer. You're a good person, Ive been here, sleep on it, and realize that in fact it makes you a good person that they trust you.

    This is probably because they feel that you understand that you listen and feel that you care but if you feel there's no one to listen to you or to help you out find an outlet find someone that can relate and understand you but just remember that your not alone because there's A LOT of people in the same situation as you!

    I was that friend, too. Why? Because I let it happen. But then I realized that my friendships with those people weren't reciprocal, and I walked away. You can definitely find people who will listen to your problems, too.
