Why do I feel like im being attacked or bothered so much when someone vents and moans to me about something even if it's not related to me?

Because I have to end up fixing it and finding a solution and reassure her. My mom worries a lot and she's very panicky. I have to tell her what to do a lot of the time

Well if it's more frequently "attacked" then maybe the same as my ex... narcissistic personality disorder, persecution subtype. In DSM-V there's only NPD, but researchers into NPD have identified 5-7 subtypes that they claim need to be treated differently for success.

If it's more frequently "bothered" it's because you're sick of whiny bizniches unable to handle their ist.

Just reread your question..."when someone vents" meaning... anyone? Or just that one person in particular. If the latter I take back everything I said

People come to me a lot for help and it just gets overwhelming I feel overwhelmed. Like someone will ask 3 questions in 30 seconds and sometimes my brain can't take it. a lot of pressure on me. I used to have to help take care of my dad when he was dying and I was a kid. I just feel like I can't cope with life anymore

Anyone now. I've had a lot of abuse towards me so even when someone talks to me it can feel like an attack. I've been physically and verbally abused. It's all too much

It's mainly my mom but after experiencing abuse from a partner and work environment I thought I was going to have a mental breakdown. I managed to leave those environments and now I just cannot cope
