So I’m basically the therapist of my friend group. They go to me for a lot of things and I’ve been asked to not tell other people of the group certain things. Differing opinions, issues, etc. Well, I’ve never been able to tell anyone else about my own problems because then that’s a burden to them and I can’t stand that. I literally pull out my hair because of it. But one that stands out to me is my friend who is in a situation similar to me with her parents called me one night really upset. She was on an app where you make friends with random people anonymously. The guy she had gotten to know there told her he was planning to oof that night and wanted to tell her goodbye. She tried to o message and call him back but he wouldn’t answer, she called me about fifteen minutes after to let me know. I comforted her as best I could before she hung up again and tried to get ahold of him. After an hour she called back and told me he called her back and said “I couldn’t do it. Not with you messaging and calling like that. Thank you.” She saved his life despite not knowing who he was. She asked me not to tell our friend group about it but I think it should be known by someone

I always feel like I have no friends. I have two friendsgroups but still I feel like it. I just started 8th grade last year, a new class and a new school, but still the same people. I got in class with 3 of my besties. Were were a group. But only one of them was like my real bestie. Then we met a girl from another school in our class and became friends with her too. But it was most my bestie that got friends with her, also one of the others in the group. My bestie and her started to hangout more often then I could hang out with her. Im jealous. And I know i am. Im jealous of the new girl that stealed my bestie. But she didnt steal her, my "old" bestie left me. But I still have the two other friends in the friend group. We 5 are still a group, but not so much. I also have this other friend group where one of the others from the other group is in too. We are 6 girls. Four of them was really a friend grouo, but then me and the other friend made it in the group. Or atleast I thought I did. (I walk with two of them to school) Today, both said they werent walking home, cause their going to the mall, but I didnt think they were going together. But when I found out all the 5 others in the grouo were going together, i got sad. It felt like they left me out. Im so bad at asking to join too. I feel like that would be disrespectful. I feel like everyone hates ne, and that im annoying to be around. Please help me, i litterly dont know if I can do it anymore.
