Re: These are the deep questions in life, y'all.

I think it's normal to care but you should probably hang back because you are in danger of coming off as too strong. Are these people online? It kind of sounds like it's online. I vent to my online friends but I am kind of wary about people who seem overly concerned about my problems? I used to be that way and it turned out I was super codependent, so sometimes I think people are projecting on me in an unhealthy way. For now just be their friend, if they need your help with anything they will let you know. But do not try to be their psychologist or their fairy god parent, or take responsibility for their feelings.

Okay. I appreciate you telling me this. I'll try. I do have a problem with coming on quite strong, and on some level I know that, but the overwhelming urge to hug these people (virtually, because yes, they are online) until it all goes away interferes with my reason.

I wish I didn't care so much about people. Part of me thinks it's some sort of overcompensation, because I didn't care about anyone but myself until I was about 15. Maybe my mind is trying to make up for that. Whatever the reason, I hate it and wish it would go away.

Well, let me put it this way. You can still care about these people, but you need to care about yourself too. And you need to be able to see when your perfectly good intentions might be hurting them. Try asking what they want ("I can listen if you want to vent." "Do you need advice?" "If you want a distraction I can link you some funny videos.") Finding a hobby outside of the internet is helpful, too. There are a lot of self-help books and online resources you can probably look for as well.
