I know its probably cringe, but when I care about somebody and they say "You don't need to do that", like excuse me? Why the fuck not? I see someone close to me who struggles, and i'm not supposed to be a support to them?
Like nah, if we befriend deeply and i see you struggle, i'm going protective brother-bear on you, checking in on you and writing poems to show support for you aren't even the least i will give you.
I don't give a shit about the cringe. Give me a genuine friendship and i will be that one who sends you deep words of comfort.
