I Just Want You to be Happy

I am the type of person that is happy when the people closest to me our happy. Whenever I see my friends or family unhappy, it hurts me. And I want to make them feel better. I try a lot of the times, but I actually don’t know if it really works. But I still want them to feel better. I think that by somehow always being like this makes people think that I can fix things. Honestly, I don’t know if I can. But people for some reason believe that other people will listen to what I have to say and that’ll make things better. I’ve turned into this mediator and sometimes I can’t handle it. People can’t seem to convey their feelings to each other in a calm normal manner and need someone to play messenger. I don’t know what to do because often times I’m stuck in the middle of both sides. I can’t choose one or the other and yet somehow I am supposed (need, want) to help make people better. I don’t know what to do. I really don’t. I want to help very much. It is in my nature to help. But sometimes I’m stuck. I want to but I don’t know how. So I stuck with mixed and contradictory feelings. I want to help. I need to help. I am expected to help. But I can’t because I don’t know how, which results in a very stressed person. I think I might be the one that needs help.
