    bro is having a rough time, and all his ‘friends’ abandon him and him his problems are wrong . . .

    First greentext that’s actually believable

        You usually don’t choose when you have a mental breakdown. The big thing here is that he crashed out and not a single one of his friends cared about his wellbeing enough to try and help. Just got told to go to a doctor.

          I mean not every situation is one where people are prepared to drop everything and be the emotional support.

          Just got told to go to a doctor

          Probably the best advice though

          What was he supposed to say?

          “Alright bro. I might not be a doctor, but I’ll help you get an erection. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)”

            Comfort him. Let him know that he’s not a leper all of a sudden for having a moment of vulnerability. Listen. Make sure that they understand that they’re heard.

            These are pretty basic forms of emotional labor that go a long way in helping folks, and can even save lives at times.
