I don’t think that’s quite right. I’m a basketcase and they know it. They’re always pretty rightfully annoyed with me for catastrophizing. I also used to try too hard to reassure them— eg, someone would say he feels like a bad person and I’d remind him of the good things he’s done— and they had to explain to me that that’s a dick move.
I considered this, but the fact that it’s been two different friends plus my sister made me think I was the one being a dick.
Maybe we’re all dicks
