Hmm, I didn't read it that way, but you raise good points. I took this as “I want to continue supporting my friend emotionally but I'm worried that we might not have anything in common anymore and our friendship might not last". I didn't consider that OP might not want to be friends anymore because their friendship isn't 50/50. I agree that friendships are rarely equal in that way, and know that doesn't have to be a bad thing. (It can be in extreme cases though. The support has to come from both sides, even if one needs much more than the other.)

But since we're only getting one side of the story (And I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt anyway) I'm not sure how much I can judge.

The not having anything in common I can understand though. They might not feel comfortable making a blanket statement like “We have nothing in common" but it could be true. (Or, you know, mostly true. Almost everyone has something in common, if you look hard enough.) I say this because my oldest friend is basically the opposite of me in lots of ways, and most the things I'm interested in she wouldn't even try. We live completely different lives, etc. Sometimes it feels like we have nothing in common too, but we're still talking.

So I suppose OP could be exaggerating the differences between the two, but if they aren't I don't think acknowledging it is a bad thing. To me it didn't sound like OP wanted to stop talking to their friend, but was more worried about the future of their friendship.

Maybe I'm wearing rose colored glasses, idk, but I guess you're right in that we don't know if OP has been a good friend are not.
