How do you guys deal with wanting to talk to friends about your difficulties, but not wanting to be the "complaining" or "depressed" friend? I feel fake when I pretend nothing is wrong, but then I'm made to feel like I'm annoying as fuck when I don't. And it's not like it's ALL I want to talk about. Fuck, it'd be amazing if I didn't need to. But even when I go 3 weeks of the month ok-ish, and one week is hell. I want to talk about it during that week, and I've been made to feel by so many people that simply venting for 5 minutes so I don't have to keep everything to myself is some kind of affront . I get that I can be a broken record if the same shit is bothering me, and I get that not everyone is equipped to deal with solving my problems, but I don't want solutions, I want them to fucking listen exactly like I would/do for them. And for people who say they love me, they have a really fucking great way of showing it. Not that I even open up to people much anymore anyway, still pisses me off though.
