What can I do....

I don't know what to do, I am surrouded by people who are troubled and I don't know how to help them. I try hard to be a good friend, I wish I was able to provide helpful advise but I can't, instead I listen to what my friends have to say. I know listening sounds like it does squat.....but it seems to help people, it allows them to not have to hold everything inside, and I keep the information to myself, I never tell anyone no matter who they are. I just think there is more I could do to help instead of watching a friend walk down the hall with a grim face.

Of course I never tell anyone about about my inner thoughts, I usually don't answer to the question " How are you?" if I do answer my response is usually a lie. I don't feel like there is anyone I can trust, I lost my ability to trust a few years ago because the one person I did trust...... well it doesn't matter. During school the real reason why I don't respond to people who say "hi" to me in the hall is because I am in deep thought, I may be thinking about a one person or many, thinking about how I can help with there situation. I keep all of my inner thoughts and conflicts to myself, which I will admit can be extremely difficult at times. I have my ups and I have my downs. Everyday seems to become more arduous.
