I often feel the same way about myself, and a thing I try to do to keep my self-loathing in check is to put myself in the other person's shoes.

Sure, I feel like a selfish leech for making someone listen to my problems, but how would I feel if my friend needed a listening ear? I'd want to hear what's going on with them and support them! I'd never think my friend was manipulative/selfish or dislike them because they needed to talk to someone.

Being honest about what you're going through and asking for simple things is not being manipulative. I've known truly manipulative, selfish people, and they never hold themselves accountable for anything they do wrong. They aren't grateful for the people who support them, because they feel entitled to that support and throw fits when they don't get the exact kind they want. They weaponize their problems to guilt trip anyone who would dare to imply they're being selfish or manipulative. You don't sound anything like them.

Please take care of yourself. Your needs are just as important as everyone else's. It's okay to ask for help sometimes. You aren't doing anything wrong by existing and being human. I hope you have a good Christmas.
