Your approach to life

[BubbaGum]

You're missing the point of friendship. You're being used. A friend wouldn't consider you a burden. Friends can enjoy eachother even if they are no use to eachother.

I like being used it doesnt make me sad when it's time to leave and I dont like to talk to other people about my problems and make it their problem.

Do you have close friends?

No.
Like I said, I dont do "close"

Would you like to have close friends? Did something happen to make you not want to get close to people?

I dont want close friends and I guess you I realized how horrible life and people really are

Our perspective about the world is molded based on our life experiences. What you just said isn't true, it can really be a lot better.

id probably like having close friends but every time i actually trusted someone i got screwed over
moral of the story: never trust anyone
ever
seriously

"i got screwed over"
Elaborate.
because the context is invariably quagmire-esque.

You two have your whole lives ahead of you. Especially shyGriff, you're only 11.

[shyGriff]

basically they all ended up hating me all along or otherwise doing something incredibly mean and yeah

My life ahead of me is filled with numbers and chemical equations.
oh goody

You're just setting up roadblocks for yourself. You'll never experience the joy of having a good friend if you don't try.

This makes me sad. You're missing out on a whole wonderful side of life.

How old are you and what did you trust them with?


In my experience, there are people that make life worth living. Those same people are horrible and awful and broken. And that's what friendship is for. It's about lifting eachother up. We help our friends deal with their horribleness, their brokenness, and in turn, they help us deal with ours. And in the end, we are better off than when we've started.

Until you're at a point where someone can seriously mess up your life, nobody has screwed you over. And I don't mean just making your day or week suck. I mean put you in debt, jail, or mess up your reputation so you can't get a job or other similar things.

but whenever i try it just ends up making things worse
i guess im just cursed to not have any real friends or something


and yeah i guess it wasnt really that bad but its contributing to my anxiety so it could eventually mess up my life

that's really pessimistic

Let me tell you a story. I was bullied, a loner for a bit, developed major depressive disorder, developed cyclothymia, went through 5 bad therapists, hated therapy, still tried, found a good one, tried different medications, went to the mental hospital 2 times due to suicidal idolization, slowly got better with help, went a 3rd time this year as a precaution, got off meds. What was the result? I learned from it all, became a super positive person, realized all of the good things and relationships in my life, am loving life, am fostering close friendships now when I never really had one.

Our failures are not failures at all, we learn from them and become the people we are later in life, they ALWAYS turn into successes.

P.S. I realized the reason I didn't have [many] close friends is because >I< wasn't trying. I was so wrapped up in my own problems to attempt to be a good friend to people. You have to give to receive.
