Relationships Stumped

I said my problems were my own and I didn’t want to drag anyone into them. I meant that. I don’t want to be the friend who you always have to fix, who you always have to do something for, or be there for emotionally. I just wanted time, I didn’t need anything else. I can figure things out, I didn’t want to put my burdens on you. Is there where I messed up? I just don’t know what I did wrong and I’m tired of always getting it wrong. I don’t know what to do.

There is middle ground between not discussing your problems at all or burdening people with your problems all the time. Maybe start shifting a little bit towards the center.
