Never tell anyone your problems.
Because even your closest friends don't really give a flying fuck as to how you feel or what they can do to help you out. All they want is someone who'll listen to their bullshit and believe in it, but when it comes time to give back they have nothing but their own selfish and greedy motives.
example:
me: *explains something thats been troubling me lately*
"friend": thats weird. oh you know what happened to me??? omgksdjkajdklasdaaa!! *fangirls about something completely random and off topic and avoids discussing my problem*
