I just... Suck at emotional support.

I don't know what to tell people when they are down because I know what I say or do won't really have that much affect on them. People tend to think for themselves and they seem to like to stew in their own feces... I tend to get easily irritated with people obsessed with sad things that they can't even see AnY light at the end of the tunnel.

When people tell me sad things, I just kind of sit there and look around awkwardly. I just don't really know what to say or do. And if they keep coming back to me with the same problem I get annoyed.

Is in normal that I suck at emotionally supporting others?

    It can be difficult to understand what someone's going through when they bring you a tough issue. All they're looking for is a sympathetic ear, someone to talk to their problem about.

    Think about how you would like someone to respond if you told them that one of your parents or a sibling died and do that.
