at least op has
- someone to talk to
- someone that probably actually listened
- and that someone at least tried to help
when i try to reach out, if i even find someone that listens..well. it doen't end well or they just stay silent and leave basically, like never to contact me again unless they need something (which i don't indulge anymore, thus i realized i was alone for a long time before i realized)
no way this is not gonna backfire for them somehow or somewho
