I think my closest friend's primary reason for being friends with me is that I'm mentally ill.she has a habit of making friends with people who are struggling mentally, and has previously stated that she gets lots of pleasure from "supporting" them, even admitting it's a selfish feeling before.I worry she simply has a saviour complex, and that my horrific mental dependency on her is just feeding that.I still care deeply about her no matter what, but I wonder if I should distance myself from her so that I don't feel like I'm being used, and if/when I 41% I don't end up hurting her as much.I'm too scared to talk to her directly about this, for obvious reasons, so any advice you guys can give would be appreciated <3>off topic?we're both trans, hope that helps
The world is hard enough without people deliberately trying to prevent saviors from saving.
>>41484835I do this. When I see a suicide note on reddit (not here because you all are hopeless) I will add them on discord and be their friend. I am also suicidal and trans so It feels good. If you can't save yourself save someone else, right? Most of them end up disappearing on me, sadly. I hope at least it's comforting. They feel like family in a weird way.
