"and I married that roommate"

*Everybody liked that*

[k_gold]

The first part really got me crying, no friends is way better than fake friends, friends are supposed to make you satisfied with your life, not dissatisfied

[percyuwu]

I'm that kind of friend who often gets left out. The worst is when they plan stuff you're not invited to in front of you or when they take you somewhere to hang out and then literally talk to anyone but you.

Guy: "I wouldn't say I have fake friends"

Also him: proceeds to define fake friends

i realized when i found out they had a seperate and way smaller chatgroup, which i obviously wasn’t part of.

This hits home. I also had "friends" that would go everywhere without me. When I asked them why I was never invited, they would always say, "Oh, we kind of just got together and went somewhere." I always felt depressed and unloved and when I was invited rarely, I would always feel lonely and left out of the conversations. They would always talk about what they did without me in front of my face and it always made me want to cry. I have different friends at school now but I don't really rely on them all the time for fun because I don't want to get hurt again.

kinda weird, but I've noticed a lot of toxic friend groups keep a friend like this around as a "punching bag" of sorts. they can get along well enough with everyone, but are generally excluded and the subject of jokes/gossip most often. usually when they finally break off they turn on eachother cause they can't bond over putting down their "friend" anymore

When I stood up for myself and told them that they can’t use my place as a party spot. They’d go to parties and stuff without me. I didn’t really care but when I ran into them again they treated me like a stranger. It was a shock especially since I helped one of them one night after a really bad situation. A couple of years later I ran into a mutual friend of ours they were also cut off which shocked me cause this guy was someone who always had their back and helped them when ever it was possible. Turns out they’re not interested in making loyal friends just shallow friendships based on having fun and parting.

They should make a friend group for the “left out” ones. I’ll lead it 💀

Why does every reddit story finish with a marriage lol

[shaminisaravanan]

I got tired of being burdened. Ik that sounds horrible but listen. She always talked about "not wanting to be a burden" and "I don't wanna burden you with this" but god damn. 4 years later, talking everyday of those years, and the same shit still going. Always telling me just enough to worry but never really opening up. She would be so sad or irritated or distant. I'd ask her what was up and nada. Not even a "today's just not my day" or "idk I just don't feel alright for some reason". Either she continued to act that way or just shrugged and talked to someone else. Over the years the annoying bits just piled on and then I went through a major life crisis and she was nowhere in sight. I realized then that I was always gonna be the shoulder to cry on, and she was less interested in the person attached to it than I'd feared. I was carrying the burdens of two lives and for what? It was crushing. I tried a few times to talk to her about it but it never went anywhere. I just looked like a pissy idiot. So I left.

Damn at least they addressed it. my friends just ignored the fact that they would hang without inviting me. they all bailed on my graduation party the morning of, and only 1 friend showed. we’re still friends and she’s the only person from high school i’m still in contact with

[boo]

I’ve been the periphery friend my whole life. Recently I felt even more left out than usual and it just wasn’t working. We all we’re going different places in our lives so I took my chance and left. It’s been hard but my mental health has been better than ever. I still have no friends but hopefully soon I can meet some new people.

I’m glad I don’t have any fake friends. I don’t have any friends.

[Cherryxarts]

I wouldn't call them fake friends, but I am definitely not as close to them as I thought I was. I basically introduced the 2 people I was closest with to each other and now they seem to get on way better with one another than with me. I wouldn't mind it if they didn't constantly say shit like "I miss xyz" when hanging out with me 1 on 1. Shit hurts.

I had fake friends all through k-12, finally met some real homies in college. Of the 10ish friends I had, I really only talk to 2 anymore because the other “homies” were fake. Now my wife and I have found some great people

[MysteryGaming]

I realized it when I got diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety and was an absolute wreck that day no one noticed except a couple of the guys which are some of my closest friends now but when I told everyone that I had depression and anxiety no one looked at me and without a beat told me that I could never have either because I’m such a happy person and I’m just doing it for attention. I have a bad habit of making friends with toxic groups just because I’m desperate for friends and I finally moved past that fear and have found some of the best friends of my life. It was astounding the difference I felt right away between the 2 groups kinda sad it took my 3/4 highschool years to find these people (it took us all that long as a lot of us were part of those couple of hella toxic groups)

[faryaaryan]

I don’t need friends. They disappoint me…..*CLAP*

[nicola]

I literally gave three friends a ride to a restaurant, expecting to eat with them and everything. They got out of the car while I was parking, said "Thanks for taking us, see you later!" and went inside. I couldn't believe it.
