    Primarily myself, hyper-independence, ofcourse i have friends who i can rely on to help with some minor or more physical tasks from time to time, but for the emotional side, it’s all up to me. Not them necessarily being bad friends, but just not knowing how.

      but just not knowing how.

      Thats my biggest fear with my future friends if I ever find them : Its not that I cant help them ohysically its just that I haveno idea how to help them emotionally.

      Maybe I should just sit there and listen to their emotional problems since I dont really know what I could do to help them in an other way emotionally?

        That’s a good idea. Just sitting and listening can still be helpful, even if you don’t know how to fix the problem.
