So I’ll keep out names but I’m 18 and they’re 19 and have been planning to try run away as they have a strict household - I wont go into details about it on the odd chance this post is seen and links are made about who (I’m paranoid) but I will say they’re parents often take their phone for hours and don’t let them leave the house. But in the short time we’ve known each-other (nearly a year now which feels crazy) they’ve become the closest friend I’ve made since my best friend from primary school, So naturally I really wanted to help them with running away (letting them stay with my family, helping them slowly take belongings out the house, and trying to get as much advice as possible for them).
But recently they had been distant, i assumed it was due to their parents stealing their phone for hours but recently they spoke to me about it. They said they were sorry for distancing themselves more (it had been around 2-3 days, i feel desperate writhing this) but that they were doing it for my sake as they felt like they were a burden, and they didn’t wanna burden me by talking to me more as they’ve already vented to me sm and I’ve helped them sm with moving out.
I tried to comfort them about that and was telling them they weren’t a burden again, I’m not the best at comforting people but i seriously tried my best cause they mean a lot to me. But since this happened they’re still very distant and I’m missing hanging out and talking over text at least :( they’ve had suicidal thoughts before I’ve met them and confessed they recently to me a couple months ago but I’m so scared they might be spiralling now and they aren’t replying but idk what to say.
Its just idk what to do guys, sorry if this is kinda messy I’m just scared for them but also it feels like they don’t like me, which is stupid and selfish to think cause they’re dealing with sm bigger things and its making it about myself but i cant help thinking like that.
