Am i a bad person? (Help?)

Somtimes my friends will go through bad things, and I want to be there for them of course, but if it's a lot to handle I get extremely stressed out and shut down, does that make me selfish or a bad person?

Hi Lindsey! I no exactly how you feel! But don’t feel like you have to force yourself onto your friends problems. Sometimes it will make you feel worse off & this is your life so you should be the most important to yourself 🤗 I don’t think your a selfish or bad person for your actions towards your friends! There’s only so much support you can give to someone! So please don’t put yourself in an uncomfortable situation.. friends will understand ☺️

Also I’m intrigued in your horse what’s her/his name?🐴

It is okay to step away from people if you feel the need to. That does not mean you are a bad person, or a bad friend. It might actually make you a better friend. Refresh yourself and then, if you feel led to and feel physically and emotionally able, step back in. You are amazing!
