The Conundrum of Friendship

How reliable of a friend can you really be if you cannot seem to control your life? How reliable is the word of a messed up person?

Giving advice, is what I do. Or at least try to do, although perhaps I should stop since my life is in horrible shape. When you are the friend who solves problems, who do you then go to? Who can help you if you are the only one that helps at all?

Some don't go to anyone, they push everyone away to clear the blast radius for when they emotionally explode. Others, silently suffer until they find someone to help them. Others, merely ignore their problems, instantly curing them of the disease.

When all you do is help, is that a friendship, or are you the cleaning crew? When nobody seems to understand, what then? Are there answers to any of the questions I ask? Maybe, maybe not. That is for you to figure out.

  2. That is called being a hypocrite, giving advice that you yourself do not follow.

  3. Obviously you do not follow the advice you give so this would most likely be why you are having troubles in you life. Look around most everyone is having troubles in their lives but each of these people are unique in that they have their own ways of dealing with it. Some make themselves the victim and doing nothing to better the situation, except just complain, while the few others will come to terms with their failings and troubles and attempt to solve them in the best way possible. From what I know of you you are not that type of person, but hopefully one day you will learn to deal with your problems rather than just complain. Good luck to you in your endeavors.
