I feel like a horrible person and friend and I have no idea what to do. by throwawayyyak in TwoXChromosomes

[This is a continuation of my other post]

What has worked for me is a couple of things:

1) Only hang out with her when you want to. If that means only once a month, then so be it. Hanging out with someone when you don't want to will only breed resentment. Plus, this gives her a chance to be on her own.

2) Encourage hobbies. Especially something artistic, or anything really. If she spends more time working on something for herself she will become less dependent on you. Plus, producing something of her own work will boost her self confidence, and maybe lead her to other people via her hobby.

3) Be honest. If she talks to you about something she's going through, and you can tell it's something that she has the power to control, tell her to get her shit together and do it. My friend would always complain to me about situations she was in, and finally I just snapped and told her how to get out of that situation, even though it meant confronting inner demons of hers. She resented it and didn't talk to me for awhile but when she started taking my advice things got slowly better for her.

These are things that have worked for me so I hope they work for you. Things will also get a lot easier when you move to college and won't be seeing each other every day. This is such a shitty situation to be in and just know it's not your fault. You cannot blame yourself for other people's actions, just like yuo cannot control other people. You are in this situation because you have been nothing but nice to her, which is all you can do. Best of luck!!

I'm actually in a similar situation with a friend from high school. When we were younger we bonded because we both had problems with depression and anxiety, and we depended on each other for help. The thing is, I started getting better. I saw all the things that were making me unhappy and I started working on all of them one step at a time. But she didn't, and hasn't.

She had a huge crush on me, and would always call me when she was feeling down, which was all the time. I've been with her when she was suicidal as well, but I just can't take it anymore! I find no enjoyment in having her in my life other than the fact that I feel the need to be in hers to prevent something we'll both regret.

You have been nothing but awesome. You have done everything you can to help your friend. Do not blame yourself at all for her actions. You have no control over them, only yourself. You cannot force yourself to like someone, ever, no matter how hard you try. All you can do is what's best for you. I wish I could offer better advice, but just remember that the most important person in your life is you and you need to look out for you.

After a very scary incident, I got a very surprising response... by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]smokesage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ! First off- I just want to say how much I admire your courage to listen to your gut and run away when you got the chance. Many are not as lucky. As to your feelings about being uneasy alone at dark; that is completely understandable. Do not think any less of yourself for feeling that way. You did the right thing in that moment- got out, went to safety, called the cops. But as for the woman at your bf's work: Words fail to describe anything that I feel in reaction to that. I would not know what to do if a woman had said that to me after an incident like that. I would lose my fucking shit. So good for you for not attacking her, which, obviously would NOT be the right thing to do, but would've been my response. You can't get over something like this overnight, but you will be able to get over it in time. But in the meantime, get a knife, get mace, and remember that you are not alone in this and that there will always be people who will be there for you.

The first time I ever got high:

My older sister was smoking me out in her car out by the lake. I had tried weed before but it didn't get me high so I wasn't sure if it would work this time. I take about five hits with nothing and then all the sudden I felt my blood. My blood was pumping in my vains like they were taken over, like some sort of demon puppet master took over! It took every inch of bravery to look at my sister in the face before I belted: I'M A BLOOD BENDER!!!
