The person is also in a very difficult financial situation, unable to afford for college, currently jobless, and theres lot of bills and that stuff, they have no other supports i really wanna help them but its hard i dont know what to do besides just listening and even then its hard to get started
@ayeyaeyaaaaaaaa Sometimes just listening is all someone needs from a friend ❤️ I always like to ask someone that I am talking to if they just want to vent or if they want a solution. I think that allows for them to control the conversation and to ask for the right support. Even if you feel like you aren't doing much, just being there for them means you are an amazing friend and that counts more than anything else! Be kind to yourself because you're doing amazing! 😊
