Or hey, your problems have really consumed a lot of my own mental space.
People don't really talk about this, but bro, if you're all the time acting like a therapist instead of a friend, you're going to think about these problems.
A lot of people like to say, oh, you know, I separate myself from the issue.
I separate myself from from my friends problems.
But if you have any ounce of empathy, it's hard to do that.
Maybe you guys have found a metaphor that let me know.
I haven't like any time.
There's been some kind of, you know, especially in my close relationships, drama or some kind of, you know, distaste for another person.
Like it becomes a whole ordeal.
It almost becomes like this reality TV show, you know, an episode of Love Island where you're trying to figure out like who cheated on who.
And although it's fun, it's a distraction from things.
It's a distraction from your own life.
People can become distractions very, very easily if you don't set boundaries.
They become the best distraction in the world.
It's so fun to be entrenched in somebody else's life to the point where you forget to live your own.
It's so cool because you are absolved of any kind of responsibility in your own life.
