Well, unfortunately, I can't just turn off the part of me that's going to worry about pretty much everyone, so.

[they sigh]

It's sweet of you to be worried about other people, but you're really going to worry yourself sick at this rate.

[brightly]

Nope, I have boundless energy when it comes to caring.

It is really hard to know how to deal with you when you're being this insistently nice.

I would say I'm sorry but I think we both know that isn't true.

[they sigh heavily.]

Is it going to help if I promise I won't burn myself out?

That depends. Will you actually keep that promise, or will you pretend you're fine even if you're not?

I'm surprised it doesn't mention in your file thing how exhausting I think it is when people do that.

Yeah, but people can be hypocrites.

...Was that an insult?

I'm just saying. Just because you find something exhausting in someone else, doesn't mean you're not going to do it yourself.

Okay, but I don't do it! I talk about my problems.

You'd have less problems to talk about if you stopped making everyone else's problems your problems, you know...

I think another word for that is friendship, which is something I happen to enjoy a lot.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

Yeah, that's about what I expected.

You've got expectations of me already, huh?

We've talked several times, I don't think that's weird.

If you say so...
