Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The secret to having a great friendship, is to not make your problems, theirs.

Instructions unclear, I now have a crippling fear of opening up to everyone about anything

Doesn't sound like a friendship to me. More like an acquaintance.

I want to know what's up in my friends lives. I want them to tell me if they've got problems. I love them. I want to be there for them, and I want them to listen to me if I need it once. Otherwise, what's the point?

I’m with you. Also, it’s not clear to me why people think listening to your friends means you suddenly are responsible for their problems. You don’t have to take on their burden, but you can listen, maybe offer advice, and empathize. You don’t need to solve their problem.

The secret of having great friendship is to tell your friend about your life but don't expect more than listening and to ask your friend about their life and try to help them the best of your ability.
