Description
This is to the people who think that their friends have to drop everything and be available 24/7 to give them emotional support. It's very nice that you or your friends care for eachother that much but don't guilt trip those who can't or won't and learn to turn off social media every now and then. Nobody's life should be the responsibility of another when it comes to something like this either.Template;

one of my ex-online friends was like that
she kept rejecting my help even when I gave her links to helplines during a meltdown
it's one of the reasons I'm a very emotionless person now

once one of her demons messaged me and it was horrifying
me and her used to talk a lot but now we never really talk at all

Yep. They can't be or the therapy won't work.

It's great if you can talk to your friends and such but if you have serious struggles only a professional can help you.

THIS. So much, this.
I'm always venting to my bestie, but I'd never expect him to drop everything just to deal with me.
If anything, I have to reassure him often that yes, you can vent back at me. I welcome it. It's okay - I'll listen.
Your problems aren't less than mine. They're just as real. And good Lawd, I love to complain; of course you can complain about things too.
However, like you said... I've had a few 'friends' in my past who get so pissed at me for not dropping everything to respond back to them right that second.
I'm sorry, but I can't be in your company 24/7. And no, I can't be available 24/7 via phone or text either. I have other responsibilities and commitments!
Your attempts at making me feel guilt will only push me away. Up go my walls and down go your chances of me staying friends with you.

Exactly !! My ex and I would vent to eachother all the time but nobody HAD to respond right away.
That's so annoying. Yeah, I had a friend who used to block me if I didn't respond to him enough in one day. He got pissy one day that I wanted to play a game instead of chat on social media all evening after school. That should've been a good warning sign right there but I was a dumb teen, so I perused the friendship.
No more, real friends give you space and understand that you can't always be available for social media ! Plus some people aren't very good at giving advice.

Nah, not even the professionals get it right all the time either.
There's just some shit you need to figure out for yourself, y'know?

Yep. This is why I strongly support Cognitive theory in Psychology. The mind is a powerful thing.

It sounds odd, but I often talk to myself as if I was talking to another person.
However, because I take the time to talk it through and give myself that advice, I've came to pretty intelligent decisions and/or conclusions.
They say it's a sign of madness, but to me it makes a lot of sense!

That is very clever and productive ! I tend to yell at myself. xD which is less productive.
Yeah, I agree. It makes a lot of sense. Self-talk is very important !

I do that when it comes to video games.

It's so annoying when people pull this stunt.
People like this get the boot from me after it's been done so many times.
Nice stamp.

So true. I hate to put my friends down like that or ruin their day. And it also doesn't help when you then say "I'll stop talking now...."
