my best guy friend


Question Posted Thursday April 12 2007, 7:03 pm

16/f. My best friend, a guy, talks to me all the time about shit that goes on with him, like at home(his home life is very f***ed up). Mostly it's on AIM. And I'm really glad that he talks to me, cuz we have a history(long story) and we are best friends. But a lot of the time I don't know what to say in response. I'll say I'm sorry and stuff like that, but I feel like I have to say more. But like what? I just need him to know that I will always be there for him and he can talk to me about anything, and I'm sure he knows that, I've shown it. Do I need to say anything else?

I feel the same way sometimes, and I have also come to the conclusion that they do just need someone to tell the problems to...so they do not hold it in. You are doing something great by taking the time to listen, and he deffinately appreciates that. I know i would.

You are doing the best you can, and that's enough. It's normal to feel like you want to do more, but you may not be able to. It really all depends on what is going on and how much experiance you have with it. I have a friend like you, and she has more problems in her life than i will probably ever have. But she still listens and helps me. You sound like an awesome friend, and I'm sure he is grateful that you listen and help him the best you can. I am sure you mean a lot to him as a friend. Sometimes people don't really need help with their problems, they jsut want somebody to know they have them. And usually they can only trust a true friend, and you don't get many of those in life, and you sound liek one of his.

When you don't know what to say because you're either at a loss for words, or just really don't know how to reply, just tell him "Well, I'm always here for you when you need me. Remember that." I don't think you need to say anything else, but when he comes to you [like he usually does], try & be there for him. Keep doing what you're doing, and be his shoulder to cry on.

I dont think you'd need to say anything because he just needs someone to tell and vent with and all that and hes probably just happy that you listen to him and he knows that you'll be there for him
