I also feel that, from time to time. During one occasion in particular, I expressed these feelings to another. I have tried to keep in mind the things he said.
In turn, he asked me if I ever felt it was a burden when one of my friends needed help.
Friends are not burdens, but supports, or at least that is how they should be, and our connections to people should ideally be like two pieces of wood presses up against one another, supporting and being supported simultaneously. If one is afraid to lean on another, then the fall is inevitable, and once one has fallen, they will not be able to hold up another either.

That is what I was told.
