Does this sound familiar? Nobody actually wants to hear about your problems. A while ago I was going through some things and losing hope. I really needed someone to listen and tell me that I matter. I open up to someone I've known personally for several years who actually works in the mental health field and he ghosted me instead.

The people who say things like "you can reach out to me any time" and "you are not alone" don't always mean it or have the capacity to follow through with what they say. For months I was so confused and I finally got an answer today. They told me I overshared and it made them uncomfortable and it was just too much for them to handle.

Dude if you can't handle it don't work in mental health and don't encourage people to open up...
