"I feel helpless in general because many people around me are sad, and I can't help but take their burdens upon me. Everyone else's sorrow becomes my sorrow. I am very worried for a lot of people dear to me and hate that I can't do much except try to comfort them. I know that count a little bit, but words can be hollow, and I can't hold everyone else up, either, because I've been feeling a lot more unstable lately all of a sudden."
This is basically what I was talking about in my last entry. Sometimes when I know my friends are going through a rough time... I always end up feeling that sorrow myself. It's almost like I was there when they went through whatever it was that made them feel upset. It's hell because it makes me feel helpless. It makes me feel like telling them everything is alright is such an understatement, because I know they don't feel alright.
I just want to feel like I'm needed. I want to be a friend without feeling as if their sorrows become my sorrows. It makes me cry sometimes because if they cry, than I do as well. I can't ignore the feelings either, because I really do care a lot about my friends. It just makes me feel as if I can't be there for them as much as I want to, without feeling and knowing they don't feel right about what they are going through.
So... yeah. D:
