My friend asked me on messenger how I was doing. I told her ok. But I was dealing with a lot because a coworker I was close to quit. So now I have to take on some of her projects. Which is fine. I have had to do this before. But my friend asks me "Anything I can do to support ya?" I told her not really, because that's true. What does she even me by support me? She can't apply at my office and pick up the work. I guess she was thinking emotionally. But she barely is even there for me emotionally. It always rounds back up to her somehow. I asked her months ago to look over a poem I was thinking of publishing and she hasn't even done that.

It just seemed like such a half-assed response because we both know she doesn't have the time or energy to do anything to help me. It's like she had to respond with that question because her polite Texas wiring has programmed her to ask that. But we both know she isn't really going to need to be doing anything to inconvenience her.

She isn't a bad friend. I am grateful for all she had done for me. But I am just tired of her asking me that question.
