Lost a former friend and feel awful, am I the bad guy?

...See more I'm reposting this here since I mistakenly posted it in an older forum, so here is how it happened. It’s been a while since I last came here. However this is really sad news to tell: My friend I spoke about? They and their friends cut ties with me. It’s because it finally reached a breaking point where when any bad news from them happens that I lost it. I realize the errors and they sent one of their friends to say I broke their hearts and such. I was willing to take responsibility for my actions and apologize. However they rejected the apology and their fired me for that ex friend from the job I use to be in, telling me to get off the internet in a threatening unsafe manner. I was being obedient and deleting most of my social media accounts doing what I was told, though they cooled off a bit but still sent me demonizing insults and telling me that it should be my “wake up call” and when I explained this to another friend who wasn’t toxic, the ex friend spied and scream by text saying nasty things and with a raged “I never want to see you again” text which they said one time that would be cowardly to do but in the end the ex did it that way proving they were no worse than the enemies they made. So I now lost full contact knowing that they’re gonna demonize me and possibly spread slander and such online just to get to me, despite no longer using most social media. The sad thing was that when I was cut off, ironically, I felt free. Free to be myself and try to make things right with the old friends I was forced to give up on. So I need to ask, was I the evil one for being too obedient and being a coward for doing exactly what they said or was the ex? Please let me know.

...See more I’m in a complicated relationship with my friend who gets easily triggered and raged. And it’s to the point that it’s making me triggered and raged to the point I almost act violent before they stop me. They admit they’re hard headed but won’t stop getting triggered because of their depression and bad luck happening to them. I feel like despite doing everything I can to keep my friendship with them, I feel like I’m never good enough and am a bad guy whenever I try to call them out on stuff like this. I feel like I’m the toxic person but I don’t want to lose my friendship with them. I need advice please

Friend’s trigger causes me triggers

...See more I just want to get this out of the way. I care for my friend and despite the rough edges, they’re still my friend. However they get triggered easily nowadays because of bad circumstances that make it look like they’re the bad guy. And during our calls on Teams, when they scream and rage in their heat of the moment when something bad triggers them, that triggers me to my own heat of the moment where I want to do something physically bad and when I almost do it in that way, they hang up and that signals me to stop and realize what I tried to do and regret it. Then I lie down in the cold bathroom floor and punish myself and call myself hurtful names and words until I am called back by them while being berated in a calmer manner. And once in a great while this repeats any time something in their life goes south and horrible. I don’t know what to do as I can’t abandon them because of their life being ruined by the ones who hurt them, but I know that this constant repeat needs to stop somehow. Please help me with advice that doesn’t involve ditching them.

I feel i can’t ever do anything right with my parents

...See more This morning my father’s milk spilled because of my cats and when he asked me for a towel I got one but it was wet. Then he yelled that he wanted a dry towel and then I tossed them to him he screamed like I haven’t heard from years. I was having a panic attack but both my parents made it worse by not calming me. I was snatched and held too firmly as dad screamed at my face that felt like I was being slapped as they both shouted to get over it. I finally had to hide to cry and just stopped crying to write this experience and now I feel like I can’t do anything right with them.

...See more Hello, I'm new to this place mostly as I'm still trying to get use to this site. I honestly have a lot of emotional baggage I want to let out and honestly, I was told this site was recommended. Especially when it comes to self esteem and issues with certain big feelings I want to let out. And I hope I'm welcomed here.
