I have had many fantastic friendships over the years, but this one has been one of the most meaningful, important and richest in my life. I am very worried about this friend, and there is very little I can do for them.

This song is exactly that friendship.

Also I think it's really great that you want to keep going with this friendship and help them out. I'm all about going with how you feel in a particular situation (with some thought behind it, just because I tend to rush into things occasionally and regret later) and every friendships and relationship that you have is really different.

I hope that your friend is OK (although it sounds like they are not), and I hope that they can work through whatever it is.

I have a tendency to mother everyone, and it's both a blessing and a curse. It's really quite upsetting when you seem to see people's problems (and how they could fix them) more clearly than they can. (Of course, I'm sure the same could be said for me.) One of the things I've struggled with over the years is learning to accept that there are things I can't change, and that I can only help people to a certain extent. They have to do the rest of the helping themselves. It's not my job to fix their lives, but it is my job to be there in whatever way they want and need, if I feel that that is something I want to do (as I do in this case).

Yes I know that feeling. Of wanting to help, even though you can't. I think it's why I'm sometimes drawn to friends and people who have too much drama (until I'm so drained I just cannot do it anymore) and also why I feel a need to be really connected to my work.

As much as some people rubbish Myers Briggs, I think it does do a good job of grouping people. Like when I talk/write to you or other INFP/ENFP (because I can be an E at certain times) I just feel that you get it a bit more. There's just more of those light bulb moments of "yes me too!" It's a nice feeling.
