I’m not sure why I do this and I’m suspecting that it may be a self-confidence issue..maybe anxiety? When things are going bad for someone, even if I have absolutely nothing to do with it, it makes me feel bad about myself. Like I should have done something different or I should be able to fix it or something. Someone said maybe it has something to do with feeling out of control of my own life but I don’t really understand that. I just would like to be there emotionally for people who need me without feeling stressed and depressed afterward. Kind of related is I don’t take advice too well at first like I feel like I failed but then I’ll think and conclude that that’s silly they’re just helping, I don’t need to feel bad, just fix it. Is that self-centeredness maybe do you think?
