How often do you vent/get upset to your friends? Bc I feel like maybe I get upset where I wanna talk abt it w someone maybe 2-3 times a week if it’s been rough. But I don’t have anyone to talk too, but maybe 1 friend idk. It’s early. And they busy a lot.

I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum. It’s so hard for me to sit down and vent to friends :’)

Well kinda! I have these feelings and I feel so childish bc the friends have bigger lives going on then me atm. That’s fair and I don’t wanna bother them. But I wouldn’t say I get deep, maybe a light Cry. But I feel like my problems are so small, but so many, without an outlet to vent my smaller problems feel huge now. And it’s all on me to either stfu and bottle it down, or look foolish and seek validation over smth stupid that others can’t quite understand bc they aren’t put in my shoes.

just because someone’s problems might be ‘bigger’ than yours doesn’t make your problems smaller. They still made you feel smth, so you’re valid for wanting to express that! Plus whenever you do vent to a friend it shows you feel comfortable enough to confide in them, and I can imagine they appreciate that. Although they might not understand, having that outlet can help a lot. Tho given you said they’re busy, you could invest in other outlets like journaling to process those feelings
