Do you ever find it hard to connect with someone emotionally?

All too often I find myself offering solutions rather than being there for them, idk man. My personality just doesn't work that way.

i think you're like me , you don't want people to be emotionally attached and dependent on you and get stuck on you like leeches and whine to you all day everyday. instead you give them some advice or solutions so they can figure things out by themselves.

it seems like a better option, to me. I mean barely get through life on my own, I can't give parts of life to so many people lol

@offingg: yeah there's no use in whining and being negative, it makes things worse and brings you deeper. i gave up on being there for people emotionally because instead of focusing on getting better and making things better for themselves, they are focusing on what to whine about and they have me to whine about it. they whine and whine and then they say , thank you for listening .. good bye ..
