so my boyfriend and i have been together for almost 2 months and he’s honestly the best thing that’s ever happened to me, he treats me so well and makes me feel extremely loved. unfortunately he suffers from anxiety and is a very emotionally sensitive person, and i’m really terrible at comforting others because i never know what to say. he on the other hand, always manages to make me feel better when im feeling down and i just wish to be able to help him like how he helps me. it makes me feel bad because he knows that i care, and always tells me that it’s okay if i dont know what to say – but i just wish that i could say things to make him feel better instead of merely being a listening ear. he’s mentioned before that he appreciates when people suggest solutions for his problems but the issue is that i really dont know how to help him sometimes or instances where i do try to suggest a solution he’s already tried it and it didnt work. idk im just really terrible at comforting people, and its even worse right now due to the virus where i cant be physically beside him to make him feel better 🙁
