wookie Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) I don't have a lot of friends. And I think I have grown used to that. Some people I have met who have been friends have honestly been awful, and even traumatizing. Some I just drifted away from. I have a low tolerance for people. When I am in a good headspace I am pretty content with people but a lot of times I am not. People I let in my inner circle are kind of extra special. My DH is my best friend. I get annoyed and even stressed when I have my high maintenance friend around when she just goes off about stuff. I have friends who talk at me, not to me. I have friends who I can actually talk to, but I just find I can't spend a lot of time around people. They just stress me out.

The Cure Hen Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I know the feeling, I've been crossed by people I thought who I could trust before and now have two real friends left. I've always taken friendship seriously and all too often met people who didn't or were just trying to use me. I've grown cynical as the years have gone by but try to remember the real friends I have and how I try to be that for them as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopelessromantic Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I have so little in common with most people that I don't try anymore. We are getting new neighbors but I am wondering about going down the street and introducing myself as I don't believe it's going to turn out to be anything other than - - - - - just that. A neighbor.

domovoi Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 i have a lot of problems having friends most of all b/c of my borderline, but what helps me maintaining existing connections is trying to foster empathy in myself and try and be selfless. instead of "what is this person bringing into my life, are they worth me" i think "what can i do to understand this person better, feel what they're feeling and what am i bringing into their life"? but it only works b/c i have good people in my life to begin with... i've known a lot of lonely people, especially a lot of lonely people with severe MI, it's not easy to have friends and most people are assholes. hang in there.

Fluent In Silence Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 You should have compassion when you hate people because they're just the same as you and I, with the same needs and desires. Try to devolop a love for all things an all people. They're mostly a bunch of cunts though. Fucking koalas. Don't get me started on those bastards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melina777 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) I can totally relate to this had to end a 30 plus friendship with a girl I thought to be my friend turned out I was wrong she turned out to be flaky and shady and a backstabber I know she probably talks about me when I am not around to other people especially now since we went our separate ways. I don't care really, and I only have one friend that seems to be honest and true and told me she would try to be a good friend to me good friends are hard to keep and to come by. I don't like most people most people are evil and cruel and so judgmental of me without even knowing a thing about me only what they heard which are definitely rumors if they didn't hear it from me, it's a rumor. I stay by myself for the most part and keep my distance from people I trust a few people not many so you're extra special if I even like you or trust you. People all the time judging me, or they will stare at me and not say anything I am like what do you want from me not cool. I am tempted to blow them a kiss and walk away but I would rather not give them the satisfaction of knowing that them staring at me bothers me I hate it when people do that. I don't see the reason for me to be treated in such a way. I am sure I am not the only one out there who runs into those kinds of people. But anyway, I would rather spend time with my family and pets than anyone out there in this world. Edited September 3, 2022 by Melina777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
