I hate when my friends cry

When it comes to people needing a shoulder to cry on, or they need comforting, I'm just not good at it. I hate when people cry in front of me because I have no idea what to say or do to help them.

I'm the exact same way. It's not that I don't want to comfort them. I really do and feel aweful for having nothing to say or do. :/

I hate reassuring them its going to get better especially when you know it wont. I hate lying to make someone feel good. One day ill be that asshole that i strive to be. Until then ill settle for being a human... who hates people.

Who said it wasn't going to get better? Some of the most compassionate people I know are also the biggest assholes I know.

OP-I don't think people in need of compassion seek out those who are incapable of giving it for comfort. But if you can't share this with a partner, you have some serious issues. And how often do people just come up and start crying all over you? Maybe you are better at it then you think. You must hide your discomfort well if they continue to do this.

I thought I was the o gone this happened to.... Whenever my friends are upset I feel bad and all but I thought I was the only one that was not a comforting shoulder... Thank goodness for all of you :)

Oh my gosh same here. It's not like I don't want to help them I just feel really awkward and I don't know what to say. I think it's pretty normal.
