That’s not good to hear. Encourage your friends to share their small grievances before it gets too bad. Preventive measures and all that.

I wish my friends would tell me about the little things. It actually helps me deal with things as well, since odds are its something we all struggle with one way or another and talking through it with them helps me sort it out too.

Too bad we are all so worried about making things other people’s problems when we could tackle this stuff together

Doesn’t sound like a friendship to me. More like an acquaintance.

I want to know what’s up in my friends lives. I want them to tell me if they’ve got problems. I love them. I want to be there for them, and I want them to listen to me if I need it once. Otherwise, what’s the point?

I’m with you. Also, it’s not clear to me why people think listening to your friends means you suddenly are responsible for their problems. You don’t have to take on their burden, but you can listen, maybe offer advice, and empathize. You don’t need to solve their problem.

The secret of having great friendship is to tell your friend about your life but don’t expect more than listening and to ask your friend about their life and try to help them the best of your ability.
