When you're feeling down, how would you want your friends to be while they help?

I've been raised with the whole don't sugar coat it mentality. That and I find that not sugar coating it gets to the root of the problem much faster and that's when and where you can address it and fix it

All of the above except serious. My friends were goofballs and try to make me laugh.

as a rule, i don't really enjoy venting. while at some point, i do recognize that bottling up emotions is unhealthy, there comes another point when you are faced with the reality that it's practically impossible for others to carry your burdens. no matter how well you can articulate your struggles to someone else, at the end of the day, you can only help yourself. it becomes more true the older you get.

at the risk of sounding melodramatic, it's just... well, being an adult in our world is lonely and alienating.
