my bf of almost three months (we’ve been friends for about a year or two) is always feeling stressed, depressed, or empty. i want to help him, so im just there with him and remind him that i’m there even when he doesn’t feel like talking or we don’t have much to say.

due to his feelings, he also doesn’t know what he wants, and while he loves me, he doesn’t know if he wants to talk to me and be around me or not. it makes me really sad, he’s also had a bad childhood. i wanna be there for him but he also doesn’t know what he wants and i feel sad thinking about and worrying about how sad he is.

he’s been reading my messages and not replying or being offline more than usual.

    I’d say just keep being there for him, give him something that might distract him from the way he’s feeling, and make sure to set a boundary. don’t be there so much that you start to feel the negative vibes, but be there enough to show you care without it affecting you. hopefully, your vibe rubs off on him and he feels better.
