View Full Version : UGH! Why the **** do people always come to me...

I have somewhere around 40-45 friends on AIM and at least 3/4's of them have already threatened to kill themselves, or have had problems, and they all come to me to do it. They all ask me for help! WHY THE **** DOES IT HAVE TO BE ME?!?!
I mean, some people I actually like helping, and I have no problem with it...but when people start to threaten to kill themselves it gets kind of annoying! And, I mean, this doesn't even all come from AIM, I have lots of friends in real life that do it too. WHY?! What the **** is wrong with people? And why am I, a 16 year old high school student, their counselor?! It's starting to piss me off and I just need to get this off my chest.
I repeat, I'm 16 years old and still in High School, and people always ask me to solve their problems because they think I'm some kind of Dr. Phil! They ask questions about their relationships, life, death, suicide and all that kind of shit. LIKE I KNOW! I don't study these things on a daily ****in' basis! And what's worse is that they don't even take my advice! WHY THE **** ASK ME IF YOU WON'T LISTEN?!?!?! And the sad part about all of this, is that I can never say no to anybody who asks me. >_< So I always eventually cave and help them anyways! I never really minded, in fact, I welcomed it because of the fact that I may seek a career in psychology in the future, but after having to help 13 people in the last three hours has set me over the edge.
I know this was a kinda short rant, but I REALLY needed to get this off my chest, and I don't care if anyone flames me. I just wanted to let some steam out...

cant be bothered to read all that HS drama bullshit but answer to it is:
evry one in high school is a bloody atention seeking whore, its the new ''COOL'' thing to pretend to have problem and wanting to kill yourself. none of them will go through with it. its easy to tell apart a depresive person from an atention whore.
What do to? laugh at them, drop kick them in the face, poke them with a stick, laugh some more, then go back to doing what you usualy do.

If you would have read, you'd know why I can't do that. ;)
I can never say no to people. It's hard for me to even make an excuse to get away from people. >_> It's one of the bad, yet good traits about me...

I am the exact same way, and it's a real ***** sometimes. I often say yes to things that I really don't want to do (and I should have worded that better knowing this forum), and it leaves me miserable sometimes, but I'm always there for people whether I like it or not. For me saying no is pretty hard usually, unless it's smoking or beer or whatever, then I say no haha.
Sometimes I'll hesitate or sigh loudly or try to come up with an alternative hoping for them to change their minds but that doesn't usually work. I just can't say no.
And before anyone says it, no I don't do anything sexual for my friends. This also means I do nothing with their family or my family, or animals, or cartoon characters, or myself, or a building, or anything.
No sex.
Got it?
:p
Anyway I have had to talk to a few people about killing themselves and I don't mind it (I meant I don't mind talking to them, not I don't mind them killing themselves). It's just annoying because I could talk to them for an hour or two or three and the next day nothing would be any different. They'd still do their bad habits or whatever, or be mopey and all that. Talking to friends can help but it can only go so far...some people just don't learn though.
However it is a nice feeling if they do feel better, then you feel like you did something to help them, and usually if you have a talk like this with a friend it will strengthen your friendship by a lot, though it depends on the person.

Sammy, if ya dont like doing it, you don't necessarily need to be mean but just seem distant. I think for some people it may actually be serious but others could just be taking advantage of the fact that you care.

I'll keep that for later, but since this is a serious thread I won't address it now. Tell them exactly what you're telling us, that you are only in high school, and you can't help them as much as you wish you could. Tell them to talk to their parents or someone else close to them about it instead.

Well, that's the thing, and I know this is going to sound weird, but I'm actually good at helping people. :-/
I don't know what it is, it's like a subconscious sort of thing that kicks in whenever someone asks for help and it pulls knowledge out of the deep depths of my mind that I never knew I had. And not once has anyone told me that I gave them bad advice, so I don't know what it is. I'm just sick and tired of being the only one people go too though, they have counselors at the school for a reason. -_-
Lol, people only come to me when they need sexual advice! xD

My school counselor was a moron, so I couldn't go to her, dunno how it is at your school. She thought I'd been raped because I made a few sexual jokes. -_-

legion, you just attract people with a death wish, that's all :)
also, it's what the first replier said, high school these days is The place to be to get attention.
i've noticed it too back then, that one or too people were so incredibly melodramatic that they're fake their suicide attempts.
The very contradictive thing with suicide and those people you are talking about is that in most cases (i exclaim most), people commit suicide because they didn't want anyone to help them, or didn't find anyone to do so.
those people you talk about, probably advertise their so maniest attempt, in hope to get some major attention and comfort from girls (if it are boys of course)
people tend to talk to me about their problems too, but only (close) friends. But the toughest problem i've heard so far was the brink of a real depression.
don't worry, in about 2 years, they'll all realise just how lame faking suicide is.

Oh the laughs I will have. Then I will die, a happy doctor. Good luck to you all, I'm going to bed too. I shall snuggle with Kyoudai! I already posted 2 serious comments in this thread, and that's my limit. It's 3:30 AM, and I have to get up at 6 and pick up all the dog crap in my backyard. Go me!

Kay. I didn't read everything before my post, so if I'm only making points on things people already stated, forgive me.
1. People are stupid.
2. Most of them just want the attention.
3. Tell them "if that would really make you happier, maybe its what you should do".
Lol. I know it sounds bad, but thats what I told all my friends, and nobody killed themselves after I said that.
Im a bit worried about my friend Bill...hes always joking "maybe I could just kill myself", and, I dunno if hes kidding anymore...

Well, I've had conversations with people where they didn't listen to a damned word I said. For example, just last night, one of the people I was talking too kept denying my advice over and over again, yet it's the fourth time he's asked me for help. -_- It's just really frustrating. :-/
Sam knows I come to him for advice sometimes. I'm one of the view he enjoys helping, I think. :P

Yes, Brian, you are one of the few I actually do like helping. ^_^ Because you actually listen and don't whine like a ***** the whole time.
And I thank you for the times you have been there for me as well. =D

Ya know, I should. >_> Then again, if I ever do become a successful psychologist, I'm gonna have enough money to suffice, but oh well. :p

And a couple of them was from onrpg :]
But I don't mind helping out people when they got issue that needed to get work out.But it really is a gift that people come to you since they are willing to find answers in themself through you.So you should consider that a big factor.
Also helping them will make you realize and solve any problem that you might encounter easier in the future.So there really no downside to helping alot of people out.

I hope you didn't included me in that post.
Anyway, deathlegion.What you REALLY should do is recommend to them serious help.Introduce them to websites that talked about real life issues.
I forget the links that Manic posted a while back where they help people out in need like that.
Ask Manic for the link, introduce your friends the link and ask them to socialize with their problems.
Everyone win.
