None of my friends talk to me anymore unless they need something from me. They’re also never there for me when I need them, and dodge my attempts to simply hang out 9 times out of 10.

It’s been like this for a few months, but I was giving them the benefit of the doubt until the two biggest culprits pulled some bullshit this morning that absolutely infuriated me. Straw that broke the camel’s back and all that.

Going back into hermit mode for a while. I can’t fucking deal with people anymore. I tried convincing myself that I was better off with other people, but I think I was right before - I don’t need anyone but myself because everyone else is a black hole of dysfunction and neediness without an empathetic bone in their body.

(This is not me saying I’m leaving the forum, mind you. This is all about shutting myself away from in-person relationships. I just needed to vent after thinking about this all day.)
