What is venting for when nobody wants to listen

[silent wraith]

I am still fighting , but I have no one to turn to anymore , not even likeminded people - my friends are mentally ill too , one could say "Hey they vent to me , so surely I can trust them that I can pour my heart out to them too right ?" Bulls*it , they can vent to me 24/7 WITHOUT asking me first if I am okay to listen but I can't vent in return.
I have nobody to turn to , what does one do when they can't even turn to friends with same problems.
Am I just their emotion dumpster am I ?
So done with this , well at least I have a topic to talk about with the svhool psychologist - not like it has solved anything so far.
Wish me luck

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this.

My friend group is amazing but does not understand how debilitating my visual impairment can be.

I still remember I sent a clip of my eyes moving to my best friend and it took him around two weeks to respond, a lot of people honestly can't handle my situation due to how raw it can be physically.

If they don't allow you to vent then I wouldn't consider them friends.

A lot of people want you to care 100% about their situation but when it comes to your personal struggles they take zero initiative and do not really care.

I would consult with a professional and stick to yourself, people change up often and are not reliable in my experience.

I remember the last time I confessed to one of my friends that I tried to ctb he said something along the lines of "Oh, jeez" and then went back to talking about himself. Wanted to reach out to another one of my friends recently and he told me he was with a friend at the moment and that we could talk later. He still hasn't messaged me back. The last person I regularly confided in would out all my personal details at social gatherings, including making fun of me for planning my suicide for a specific date. She also laughed at the idea of her legitimately suicidal ex killing himself. People legit don't give a fuck about anybody else in the vast majority of cases.

Now that is nasty behavior...sure most people would not know what to say let's be real but being rude and making fun of such things is unacceptable
