Sometimes it seems like the best I can do to help people is just listen to them and let them be heard. Maybe it's just the toxic way I was raised but it never feels like enough and I feel particularly ill-equipped for that role.

I've always been really insecure about my ability to help people and I do the same thing. Don't help that I feel like in person I come across as inarticulate
Idk what I am. I listen to people and often I talk to them too make sure their head is on right. Even though I'm not a counselor or a therapist (I'm am EKG student btw) I just do what I can.
problem solver types are still valueable and help so much in other ways but it can be really hard in situations where there's no actionable solution. its still your way of showing love though. and the fact that youre trying to fight against your instincts just shows how much love and care you have.
That said - I know because I get told repeatedly (I also feel like I didn’t do enough): what you are doing IS enough, because for some, its something never received in the first place. So you providing that for someone - it goes way farther than you may think 🖤🫂

Me: aw man that does sound like it sucks
I like sharing my opinions too much, so I have to clamp down on that part of me.
