You're a good person, OP. I think just being there to listen and offer moral support is a huge thing in itself.

[(Anonymous)]

Op here. I'm not, though. A good person that is. That's the really weird part. I'm a horribly unreliable person who doesn't have her shit together, I just try but I'm scared I'll fail her. And, I used to be even worse...and the weird part is, she doesn't even remember that. And now it almost seems disingenuous pretending I'm this great friend. Sigh, sorry for the rant - I still have strong feelings about this.

Having your shit together is not required for being a good person. Trying to do the right thing is all that's required. Trying to do the right thing when it's difficult does earn bonus points, though. Trying when it's difficult and succeeding is worth double bonus points.



At present, bonus points can only be redeemed for discounts at Tim Horton's, though. We're still working on that part of the program. Sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for that, anon. You genuinely made me smile.

I fail to see the problem with this

+1. I feel like that's the takeaway from all of Marvel's superhero movies, really--the world is a messed-up place and people are flawed; heroism isn't being perfect or being able to fix everything, it's trying to make the world better even when you know you're pretty messed-up yourself and you're staring down long odds of being able to fix anything at all.

You don't have to pretend and you don't have to be a perfect friend. Just do what you can to be her friend now. Having your shit together is not a requirement.

It's normal and ok to have strong feelings and to worry about things like this. But your friendship is not a shitty gift, it's a gift. You can be a good friend to her even if you feel like you are the worst.

You don't need to be reliable or responsible or "have your shit together" in order to be a good person or a good friend. You just need to care about what happens to her and try to behave accordingly. It sounds like you've already got that covered.
