Your Type
You are always accustomed to taking friends' SOS calls late at night, acting as their personal emotional first-aid station. This behavior of always showing up when others are most vulnerable is actually your tactic to achieve "unique indispensability"; you fear that in the bright daylight you are unremarkable, so you choose to become someone's "only one" in the dark, using the savior posture to confirm your own value. But healthy relationships should also be two-way streets in the sunlight. Try proactively inviting that friend who always calls you late at night for a coffee during the day; when you learn to build connections when you're both in good states, you'll no longer just be a late-night-exclusive first-aid kit.
