How to ask for help?

[Axw_JD]

I am feeling pretty shitty right now... and I really wanted to ask my best friend for help... to just talk, or just be around. I Don't wanna be alone right now. Even if all he did was be in the same room that would make a world of difference.

But I don't even know how to start to explain what I want. I don't know how to ask for his help or company. I don't want to weird him out or scare him, I don't want him to feel that he HAS to spend time with me or help me if he doesn't want to, and most importantly I don't want him to think I am trying to manipulate him or anything like that.

I am new to having a friend at all, and I guess I am too scared of doing anything wrong...

Well, if you need to talk to someone you can always talk to your parents lol that sounds so weird considering how i am the kinda teenager that NEVER tells my parents anything. Or if your friend(s) don't wanna talk, you can always message me on Skype or on here... I am a good listener and I could give advice on anything. Hit me up bro your not alone....

My parents are out of the question. They are part of the problem.

And I don't know if he wants to talk or spend time with me or not at all. That's what I am asking help with. I don't know how to even start telling him that I wanna talk and need help without being completely weird and awkward...

Well you can be honest and say something like "I could use a bit of company or help" you can admit you feel shitty and I guess its all down to him then.

But no matter how much he wants to help or spend time with you he may have other things to do or commitments.

whatever you want or intend you really cannot avoid him feeling as you say manipulated thats up to him. Be honest about what you want / need.

Agreed. Just say you wanna talk or hang with him. With friends its not that hard to vent.

I am feeling like you.... But I am scared that he can think that I'm gay or bi...... So I'm still alone in this world.
