The friend who makes your life easier to explain may also make it easier to accept.

Some people ask questions that leave you clearer than you were before you spoke. Saying a situation out loud to them arranges it, and the arrangement changes how it feels, because much of what makes a life hard to bear is the sense that it does not make sense. Being understood by one person is often enough to make a thing liveable.

Notice who has this effect on you and see them more often than you currently do. Bring them the thing you have not managed to put into words. Try being that person for someone else by asking rather than advising.
