Oh those troubled friends

I enjoy helping out friends and giving advice when they need it, but I do become frustrated with some people after a point. It gets annoying to have someone complain over something very trivial, spend a lot of time talking to them until they feel better, only to find they're right back where they started and have forgotten all progress by the next day. I don't mind if it's something worth being upset over or I know that they just need to vent, but some people just stay emo and absolutely refuse to see reason. Basically, if someone continually ignores all advice anyway, why continue to give it?

I've been on the opposite end too, though. When I'm feeling depressed, I only talk about it with one or two close friends. I tend to wait until things have already gotten pretty bottled up, and then complain a bit too much. Then I worry if I'm being annoying and pushing them away, so that can add to the problem. Thankfully, I've got some pretty patient friends who are helpful and I can trust to tell me if I'm just worrying too much.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
