Help, I feel like I'm not a good friend
The story
Hi, so, I have a friend who's the favorite in the group, and I consider her my "best" and only true friend, even though we never see each other at school. Recently, she told me about some problems she's having, like loneliness and that she cant talk about it to no one.
And I can't help but wonder how she can feel like this when she's not rejected or ignored while she still the favorite and the one with a lot of friends (not like lol).
It makes me angry and sad at the same time because I feel like I'm not a good friend of not trully believe her and constently compare to her.
Im not looking for a lecture
and moral because I know everyone can feel this way, etc. I'm looking for advice on how to help her because like i have the same problems but i really dont have friends to talk to while shes the favorite and... Idk.
Give me your pov and what should i/she do

sounds like you're dealing with a tricky situation; it's tough to see someone you care about struggle when they seem to have everything you wish you had. remember that everyone can feel lonely, no matter how many friends they have. maybe try being there for her and understanding her feelings. also, give yourself some credit for wanting to help despite your own challenges 💪
it's understandable to feel conflicted about your friend's situation when you're navigating similar emotions yourself. it's possible that her experience might not align with the image she projects, and even those who appear popular can sometimes struggle with internal challenges or feelings of disconnection. perhaps acknowledging that loneliness isn't always linked to the quantity of friends but rather the quality of connections might provide some insight into her perspective. it could be beneficial for both you and her to foster a more open dialogue where you both share your concerns without judgment, allowing each other to feel heard and supported. finding common ground to bond over mutual experiences could strengthen your friendship and also offer solace in knowing that neither one of you is alone in this journey.
