sorry, i didn't know how to tag this...
i apologise if this is messy/disorganised, this post has been on the back burner for a couple weeks. but relatively recently, 2 different friends of mine were harming themselves right in front of me, and i just sat there doing virtually nothing to help them during the moment.
i know this makes me sound like a person who doesn't care, but i was panicking a lot and then feeling really bad after, since i have no experience with this kind of stuff.
after that, when those same 2 friends were venting/ranting to me, i just felt really bad since i wouldn't say anything to help them; all i would do was listen. i know people say that listening is already a big task in itself, but it doesn't feel fair that i can listen and let the cycle go on the next day.
how do i become a better person and actually listen and understand what they want?
again, sorry if this is messily written, i tried to get what i can remember down.
