Emotional dependency

You're giving him too much strength. If you get a LTR in the future and he meets her, your emotional dependency makes him feel superior enough that he'll act as the superior in front of her, which might end up with him fucking her or her resenting you for being weak. If that doesn't get your blood boiling, get in touch with your masculine self, because it should.

A friend is not a brother, and even brothers sometimes suck. Some things it's better to keep for your view only.

I hadn't seen a university friend for a few years. We talked online, and met up. He comes to my apartment, and before he even sits down, he starts telling me how he resents his father, and how his father is weird. Now, could I possibly help him come to terms with his father? No. It's something he's struggled with his entire life, and he was just venting. The only thing he did with that is show me he's going through an identity crisis, and he does not respect himself or his father enough not to showcast that to the world and try to sort it out himself or within the family. He called me to hang out again, but I declined. No one wants an emotional tampon. They may just want the person you result to be, or they stick around to feel superior, because seeing somehow who is weak and has it worse feels empowering sometimes.

Make other friends, find something that fulfils you.

Stop being a female and being gay.

Study Codependency. “Codependent No More,” while not an RP text, it uses the lens of being married to an alcoholic/addict to analyze codependency— the principles apply to any relationship though.

Codependency is essentially changing your actions, in order to attempt to change another person’s actions or thoughts.
