The Shocking Moments That Shattered 82 Lifelong Friendships Forever
They were self centred , and the final straw they just don’t bother asking me how I was after not seeing them for a few months. Just launched into their usual [nonsense]… oh and I had actually nearly [passed away] a couple months before the meeting lol.
Ended a lot of friendships once I got sober and discovered I’m neurodivergent. I kept myself small to be around others due to my own complex trauma.
It’s a weird feeling because no one did anything wrong per se, but they weren’t ever my people, I just always felt like I was the problem, was lucky for what I had. It’s all love still, I just wanted to create room for people who I’m a better match with and learn to love my time alone (solitude).
I don’t regret the decision, but battle regret for what I didn’t know, and not finding out sooner, but that is apart of my healing process.
I learned she and her new partner were thieves.
Stealing from stores.
Stealing from family.
Stealing from vendors at festivals.
She had keys to my house, knew all my secrets, and helped with my animals while I was away.
Trust was broken, and I couldn’t get past it.
He encouraged me to go to a party. When I did, the girlfriend of a mutual friend hit on me, and kissed me in the hosts kitchen.
I’m really, *really* introverted, and had never been in a situation like that before, so not knowing how to handle it, I just left.
I confided in my “friend” that this happened, and told him I was unsure how to tell our mutual it hat happened. He told me to “just tell him”. I agonized over it for another three days before calling pur mutual friend to say we needed to talk.
He agreed to meet me that evening at a restaurant.
In the mean time, my “friend” had already spilled the beans, but also said I was a habitual liar, and was unstable and needed to see a shrink.
So, when I met our mutual friend, he regurgitated all of that back at me.
So I confronted mutual “friend” and asked him why he did this. He said all of the above.
In the end, our mutual friends girlfriend ended up cheating on him with someone else and they broke up, and my “friend” tried that tactic on a manager at work and got fired, and I never saw him again.
I’d sacrifice all the time for her. She never did for me, and the few times I objected she called me entitled, privileged, and ignorant of her struggles and why she couldn’t be as generous as me.
Examples: she’s an actress. I never missed a single one of her shows. She never attended any of mine. Always there for her when she needed a friend. First time I needed someone, when I was literally in the hospital, she said she was too busy.
One day she invited me to go on a cruise with her and then uninvited me a few days later. This caused a fight and I ended the friendship. I consequently didn’t show up to her next show and she went off on me for being such a terrible friend who wouldn’t support her “just because we’re in a fight.” That’s when I pointed out she’d never been to one of mine, so if I’m a bad friend for missing one, once, then maybe she can understand how she looks in my eyes, and why I’ve ended our friendship.
And that was it. Haven’t spoken since.
She wasn’t my friend. She would compete with me, without me competing back (…or knowing)🫠
She would give backhanded compliments
Change the subject if anything good happened for me
She got mad at me for going to the doctors when she told me not to. Turns out I needed to be hospitalised… She got mad at me for going to the doctors and not staying home as she had told me to….. After that I kind of ghosted her.
She was an alcoholic. One night I couldn’t get her to leave the gay club with me to make sure she was safe so after trying for a thirty minutes, I left her there. She fell and injured herself that night and called the next day to blame me for her fall. It was typical blame shifting, and I was not having it.
No boundaries: calling me during work hours when he could easily have texted, showing up unannounced wanting to go on an extended road trip, getting pissed off when he shows up unannounced and I’m not home… showing up at my work.
Wanting to hangout every day.
I had to call up his wife to get him to stop, she didn’t know he’d been fired for over a year and he’s been lying about what he does all day…
