I've lost 4 people in my life in the past 5 months. 3 long term friends and 1 bf. I still have other friends but now I just don't even get the desire to talk to them anymore. I'm so mentally drained. I wanna meet someone new.
so?
>>35021985If you want advice then you gotta be honest with us. Why did you lose your 3 friends and bf
>>35021997I know it seems like a big coincidence, but all of them turned out to be fake people. One friend dated my ex a week after we broke up, the other escalated a small argument and refused to listen to my apology, and the other I've had a generally toxic friendship with. My boyfriend turned out to be a pedophile.
>>35022024What was the argument about? What was toxic about the friendship?
>>35022063I ditched some school project on accident, and me and my friend used to date. She was extremely jealous and manipulative, would always get so weird whenever I would talk to someone else.
>>35022071To be fair if it was a group project and you dipped on it, I'd be pissed tooYou seem pretty self-sufficient, like you dont need to rely on other people which is good. You seem like maybe you have a hard time meeting new people though. Are you shy?
>>35022091I know, but I tried to own up to my mistake and genuinely apologized. She completely ignored me and doubled down whilst twisting the story to make me seem like a bigger asshole.
Hold on, Can you tell the story of the pedo boyfriend? That seems to be the most interesting about your situation?Also what did your other toxic friendship do?
>>35021985You need friends that won't leave you, like Benjamin FranklinsNow go make some new "friends"
>>35021985That sounds like a you problem rather than an everyone else problem. Don’t see that happening to people who can keep it together socially speaking.>I’ve drained everyone I know dry. I need fresh bloodYeah I bet you do
>>35023660The point is that she is totally normal and didn’t do anything wrong but everyone else in her life just so happened to be a lying snake who couldn’t be any good.You ever posted on the internet when somebody might tell you that you’re in the wrong? You make yourself look normal and incredulous while framing the others as bad any way you need to so that the criticism doesn’t come through.
>>35022024I'm lonely as hell too, but I don't know how you even got in the situation where you got a peodphile boyfriend and the like in the first place. What type of personalities are you attracted to? Sounds like you're in bad company.
>>35023660I would rather not get too into it since it was recent, but his friends outed him saying that he was in another relationship with a minor whilst keeping it a secret to everyone else.
>>35024548I really honestly could not have predicted 2 of my longest lasting friends turning out to be bad people. I was friends with one of them for 6 years, and the other for 4 years. They've only recently shown their true colors to me. As for my ex boyfriend, I didn't know him for that long so I guess I should've gotten to know him better.
BumpI'm in the same spot OP, I don't really like online reddit or discord-esque spaces, dating apps seem like a humiliation ritual, ordinary social media is to keep in touch with friends not make new ones (I don't have that anyways). I'm from a semi-conservative place too, so it's a little bit more difficult to find people.
