What are it's limits? When is it acceptable to walk away from a friendship without being the bad guy?
Of course it's the job of a good friend to catch you when you fall...
But what if you know you're going to fall? They know you're going to fall... the TELL YOU... and YOU AGREE....
Is it still my job to stand there and catch my friend? Listen to the crying? Tear my own heart open watching that friend suffer when we both know it's what's going to happen?
I don't feel like doing it.
If I just... stop caring... does it make me a bad person?

Friendship is about being there for each other, just as this aspect is important in more intimate relationships like husband and wife. It is important, however, that you don't place the blame on yourself for not being supportive 24/7, because doing so would be unrealistic. You have to take a step back and think about what is going on in your relationship. Listen to your heart. And remember, a good friend is not someone who sympathizes but rather helps to make the situation brighter than it was before.

I guess not... Though if you are really worried about them you wouldn't leave them. If I didn't have friends by my side I will end up killing myself. But I get it. If you just can't stand it and you think you maybe making it worse, try to refer him or her to someone. Maybe some kind of support group or ahotline or someone. Just don't do it in an angry because it may come out wrong.
