I think there's that fine line between being "that friend that's always there for me" and "that friend who won't take a hint and fuck off".

At the end of the day, you can only help as much as you're invited to. Anything beyond that comes across as overbearing, and sometimes someone doesn't need help, they just need a bit of space to decompress and the help comes later.

I guess the measure of a good friend is offering support if they need it, and being ready to offer support long afterwards if they feel they're doing just fine.
