i hate that i can't comfort people. someone that i've been taking to for a while has been spiraling, and things have been getting much worse lately. he struggles with alcoholism and doesn't have many other friends. he tells me about his problems but i dont know what to say. i care and want to listen but all i can do is say "im sorry" and tell him about similar things that have happened to me. anyone else struggle with this or know how to get better?
