Would you call me a bad person?
| Are you friend B?
Friend B is a bad person
| Suicide when I was friends with her a few months back. I know it seems selfish but I'm at the point where I'm not sure if I really can continue on being friends with a person I might not see in 5 years. I love her to death but this constant pressure I feel to tiptoe around her, I'm not sure if this relationship to continue. All in all am I a bad person for feeling and thinking this?

I'm not going to tell you to man up and do everything for her, no one should ask you to sacrifice your life and well-being for someone else, but you'll have to live with your choices.
| There's a fantastic (IMHO) visual novel dealing with this issue - Asphyxia. It's depressing and painful, but maybe it would help you understand your friends or yourself better. I'll gift it to you, if you leave your Steam name.
