So you're going through life and everything seems to be going well, you're in a happy place, work is good, family life is great. Everything is moving along the middle line nicely, but then someone tunnels their way into your life and you suddenly feel that you need to help this person through their problems. You didn't sign up for it, this person isn't even really a friend that has earnt your loyalty yet. Your friendship has no roots, no platform for you to work from and all of a sudden you are listening to their epic scaled problems that are so beyond your comprehension. It's not that you don't want to help, actually you feel compelled to help but as the friendship is so new and you haven't actually got to a place where you can be entirely honest so you become someone for them to sound off at, not to actually listen to and you are left with the weight of a relative stranger's problems when they walk away.
Sometimes wanting to be a good person takes over and the burden interferes with your life but you struggle to walk away and leave it. You have to remember you are not responsible for another persons happiness, and it takes a really true, and good friend to give you permission to cut an unhealthy new relationship out and tell you that you that you are still a good person, don't let someone who you barely know burden you.
