The friends thing

Trouble with me is I don’t want any real life friends. They’ve all drained me or betrayed me. It was a personal choice to remove myself from all my friendships. I can’t deal with the stress or pressure to keep up with what they have and what I don’t. How’s that going to make me feel better? I don’t want to hear how excited they are to be going to Bermuda. Just leave me alone.

Boosting so your post gets seen more often <3

I feel you. I feel betrayed by almost everyone I've trusted... It's hard. :(

*hugs*

Those don’t sound like real friends if they have drained and betrayed you

It’s good you’re distancing yourself from people who aren’t good friends

But it is unhealthy to fixate on what others have and you don’t. You not being able to be happy for someone going to Bermuda when they’re genuinely excited is also not being a good friend (and if you’re not able to be happy for them because they’re going and you’re not that is something to work on)

Sounds like you’re doing the right thing in distancing yourself. Hopefully you can recover and recuperate and work on things too

@ZeldaZonk I'm glad to hear you made that powerful choice in cutting those people off & they were never real friends to begin with because real friends don't drain or pull they friends down. So it's normal for you to wanna be by yourself I say make the time with you have fun traveling with that peace & mind of no drama following you & if having just good people to talk on here & anywhere else online makes you feel good that is cool too . Sending you love your way & sorry you had to experience this .💜
