It sounds like you're experiencing some difficulty connecting with others on a deeper level, despite being in a profession that involves helping and coaching others. It's not uncommon to feel this way, especially in today's social media-driven society where comparisons and feelings of inadequacy can be heightened. One way to be a better friend to those going through struggles is to actively listen and show empathy. Sometimes, it's not about finding the right words to say, but rather being present and showing that you understand and care about what they're going through. You can also try to create opportunities for more meaningful interactions, maybe by engaging in activities that allow for deeper conversations or sharing personal experiences.

By being aware of this and reaching out to check in, you can offer support and understanding to those who might be feeling alone in their struggles.
