Thank you for paying attention to my problems, I know you're already troubled with your own, so you didn't have to do that. It was very noble of you.
I have this friend who I'm quite worried about. She keeps bottling her issues up instead of confiding in the people she cares about, but then she's so eager to help others that she'll immediately rush to sort out their problems without asking for anything in return, even when she's under strain herself. I would like to help her, but she thinks that by asking for help, she's burdening me with her feelings. This doesn't feel like a fair way to treat our friendship, and it's really worrying me.

How do you think I should get through to her?
