I just keep my problems to myself. Everyone has their own problems and they don't need me to burden them with my problems. I just take it one step at a time and find solutions.
Those unrelated to my parents, yes.
Those related - usually rub salt into the wound.
Such are the Ottoman Balkans
I don't tend to ask for it. That would make me look weak. I don't want to develop that kind of reputation.
Not sure why I got a downvote...
Generally no. I have one female friend that I go to about stuff from my last relationship, but other than that I don’t need advice from someone that lives life on easy mode.
Kind of. Guys my age that are my friends tend to be emotionally constipated so they’re just awkward when I’m down. But they try, so that’s sweet.
You have no idea how many girl friends i know that are willing to jump in to help me at my lowest and willing to kill any girl who hurts me.
Gah! I really wish i had such a sweet female friend or two to vent to from time to time.
i don't have female friends i don't believe in friendship between men and women, either i like her or not.
Nope I don't but to be fair I don't have any opposite gender friends.
Nothing from women. Maybe I just have the wrong friends but women tend to only be on the receiving end
I think you have the wrong friends. Healthy friendships provide reciprocal emotional support
Yeah. I agree.
Sometimes, They dont always know about it because I dont broadcast it
Women do not respect men that need emotional support despite their claims to the contrary.
That's not true
@AmeerX I should clarify-I mean as romantic partners. As "friends" being needy is ok with women.
I've had emotionally close friend of both sexes and several genders, to use the modern term.
Nah why bring up the problem, rather go to them when I find the solution.
I don't have any friends and spent the last 50 years living in a cave
By receive you mean after asking or without asking?
An important question revealing misogynists and sexists...
No, just from my family and boyfriend.
No. I keep everything to myself.
I'd rather isolate myself.
