I never know what to say in these situations – I don’t want to come off sounding condescending or insincere – but know I feel for you, man.
The Place to Go for Emotional Support — Page 75

As an old married guy, I can still very vividly remember the pain and bitterness of similar experiences, and it is never easy to deal with those emotions. A good support system like your friends here and time will eventually see this pain begin to fade, so please give yourself some grace in the healing process. After a lifetime of heartache and tragedy, I can tell you from personal experience that these difficult and bitter times will make the good times which lay ahead that much sweeter.
Grace and peace to you brother.

I hope you feel better, Possessed. That sounds awful.

I had a really weird experience a couple nights ago where my whole body went numb and I couldn’t work my arms well because they felt strange and shook. It was sparked by going out to run errands, which I hate doing. So I chose a time to leave the house when few people would be out but to my dismay I arrive at the store and found it full of stupid, obnoxious, and loud people that seemed have made it their life goal to stand in my way and be annoying. I already really hated being near and interacting with most people but lately the sight of and close proximity to other people has been making me physically sick. I’m sure this isn’t normal, but I get that sharing this planet with other people is just something that I have to do so it’s frustrating that it affects me so strongly.

Apparently the love and trust I’ve felt for my best friend for the last three fucking years has all been a lie. It’s my fault for going with my heart over my brain. I fucking hate life. I always have though.
Sorry, man. Hang in there. Actualize thyself, friend.

May have gotten a speeding ticket?
I may be playing devil’s advocate in some eyes here, but I don’t think pot is a bad thing. I don’t even think regular pot use to regulate mood and anxiety is a bad thing. I do it myself. But being “stoned” all the time is bad. You have to have self control. I use it during the day to keep my mood positive and my muscles relaxed and my nerves low, but I don’t actually get stoned. A light buzz is all you should use during the day, save getting stoned for bed time. Get some top shelf weed where one puff can get you a light buzz with maximum nerve and mood benefits but without a groggy feeling.
In an ideal setting you wouldn’t"need" anything to get through life, but some people need help and I see pot when used correctly as a viable alternative to prescription medicine. (Not that that wouldn’t work for some people as well). I don’t necessarily think you need to quit smoking it, but you probably just need to dial it in so that it can have it’s maximum benefits and minimum side effects.

My last friend who I had just stopped talking to me. I’m stoned all the time now and also might have gotten a speeding ticket. I’m just messing everything up right now and all I want to do is just smoke more and more pot to get rid of the anxiety. I also have to keep it a secret from my friends since they decided they thought I was getting out of hand. But it doesn’t even matter anymore since they don’t even talk to me. God, I just feel so isolated.
That sucks, man. I’m sorry.
Possessed hit the nail on the head when it comes to pot, though. Being a little high often is one thing, but being full-on stoned all the time causes its own host of problems, damage to social relationships included.

Holding onto old friends for stability is a trap I’ve fallen into myself.

Same. It’s hard to know when old friends are holding you back though, or when new friends are worth putting in the effort for.

Hang in there man, it’ll get better. Definitely don’t be afraid to cut back on the pot and cut toxic people out of your life.

Yeah, definitely. The people I know around here, I put up a friendly front, and I guess we’re friends, but they’re definitely holding me back, and are a bunch of manipulative leeching assholes. If I could find a new group of people I would.

They won’t come find you in your house, go get 'em! ;D

There is no how. It’s just the generic, “put yourself out there and find nice people!” advice. I’m sure you’ve never heard it before.

I mean, all it really boils down to is “Put yourself in social situations and talk to people.” I’m not very good at doing that myself, so I understand how frustrating it is to hear stuff like that repeated over and over, but that doesn’t mean it’s not accurate.

Funnily enough, I’m usually great in social situations. Supposedly I’m even quite charming, so I’m told.
Basically what I’m saying is, you don’t know if the people you’re talking to are going to be in the 1% of people that aren’t terrible until you’ve wasted a lot of time on them. Even then, people change on a dime later on so you can still be tricked. Handman said he’s got a social circle that he doesn’t like so obviously he knows that he’s not incapable of finding people to interact with.
The problem isn’t that there’s this untapped sea of beautiful wonderful friendly people that is just waiting to be befriended, it’s that such people are rarer than a pregnant virgin.

Yeah, can’t really disagree with you there. I feel like I tend to be a good judge of character most of the time, so I can tell pretty early on if someone’s a piece of shit, but I’m not always right. Investing a lot of time into someone only for them to turn out to not be worth it is rough.

I got to be honest, even people that I like I don’t really enjoy very much. Not everyone is bad, I just don’t them usually anyway. There’s a variety of reasons that I won’t share because boring, but I get that me being misanthropic is a little bit extreme. I do still hate most people but I think I go overboard as an excuse, but it’s easier that way.

I met them online and just stuck around. You have no idea how much I hate myself that I haven’t been able to find friends or anything without using the internet.
