I don’t know if my friend is actually supporting me or just playing therapist.
For context, I am living with 3 friends, and recently had an argument with one of them (we were both being immature, it wasn’t a big fight at all). After that, I felt quite bad and alone, and decided to open up to another flatmate.
She confuses me a lot. At the beginning I thought she was nice, warm and friendly, and I told her im feeling lost and alone, asked her on advice on how to improve myself.
She mainly focused on giving me advice, but not giving me comfort or really supporting me emotionally at all. Her giving advice did seem like a nice gesture, but her tone seemed cold, distant and sometimes a little judgemental. She is the kind of person who is very polite has very rigid rules on how she should act, and I get the feeling that she can sometimes try to force that on others.
I can’t trust my own opinion however, as I am a very sensitive and overall hyper vigilant, and is likely to make a bigger deal out of this stuff than normal.
Any advice/ help/ insight would be appreciated!!!!! I feel very lost and confused.
