I'm I really a bad person?

I came to realise I'm weird because I open up to strangers to people who don't know me ....I'm a 18 year old university student struggling with periodical isolation urge, anxiety, family problems and all this is topped up by my friends problems because they open up to me whenever they are not feeling okay.I'm struggling with maintaining friendship whereas I'm in need of close friend "best friend" the friends I have I'm always trying to push them away when they become comfortable with me and mostly after they open up to me I help them get over what disturbing them and then I disappear. This really makes me feel like a very bad pe7rson

Just because you open up to strangers doesn't mean you are weired , it good to open up sometimes strangers are better than friends, I prefer to talk to strangers you find that you can open up better than family and friends. I'm a stranger to you ,you don't know me from Adam but I will listen and If I can help I will.

Look after yourself.

Hi Zoey! The first thing I’d ask myself is why does this make me feel like a bad person.

I don't know why. I'm. Trying to comprehend everything but I don't see a reason why I feel bad but sometimes is because I try to push them away

You are not at bad you are just immature person like me. I also used to that but I have stopped as I learnt that it is not going to serve purpose. Also I used to expect a lot from the people and do extreme level of love to someone in order to get the same but it never happened

Hi Zoey, being 18 and going to university is a very important time in your life and for many of us a very stressful time. I can tell you are a very nice and good person. Being open and friendly is not a bad thing whether it is you opening up or the other people opening up to you. You mentioned family problems. They may be ill and need your help or it may be a dysfunctional and negative environment that is stressful to be around. I would recommend you commit and focus on completing school with good grades with all your might as your top priority right now. I am just like you, I often open up to others I know and others open up to me and it seems like they'd like to be friends. But for most of these friendly acquaintances I remain nice with them but I don't become close. This also makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable but I have my life and goals to focus on. I think this is natural for all of us. I have very few "best friends" but all my life it just seems to eventually happen. You will "grow into this situation" as you age and see you are not alone in these feelings. Stay committed and focused on school, go to library if you need a quiet place to focus. Remember, it is not you but nearly all of us who go through what you are experiencing, and it is not an easy age and time in your life but it is a time of growth and opportunity. Good luck Zoey
