tbh my friend group is just
"lets be friends so that we don't feel lonely at lunch" or something like that

[LandonTroyer]

Just because you have history with your friends doesn’t mean you have a future with them

[welcometomyrandomness]

Honestly a lot of us already knew that friend was toxic and just needed to hear someone else say it

They left me when I became vulnerable, they left me when I needed them most. So here I am, alone, caring for myself. The situation hardened me.

Sometimes my friend doesn't spend enough time with me and spends a ridiculous amount of time with others and then I just don't feel like i'm in the group.

I haven't felt truly close to a friend in years. I can't share secrets with them, and sometimes I feel like there's nobody i can relate to. This might just be my fault though lol, I guess I've changed too

The more people I meet, the more I appreciate my dog.

if there's no openness and trust in any kind of relationship, it's doomed to end soon. Trust is the core of relationships. It goes hand in hand with respect. If you're too cautious to say good things about your day because you're fearful of touching their insecurity, you might be in the wrong relationship.

Who else is thinking about that "friend"?

Since we're all missing people who don't really care, I'm sending a big hug to all of you...It's okay. We'll move on, eventually. Lots of love 💚

Sometime its all better to be alone than hanging with the wrong one.
