For context I’ve struggled socially since I was a kid. I’m now 21 and got rid of some toxic friends bc I noticed the pattern of always being left out of fun things and only being invited to HW sessions, and they said they didn’t want to do dinner for my 21st but then were whispering about plans when they thought I couldn’t hear. As a kid I had a party where only 3/15 people showed, but they were VERY late and we almost had to cancel activities. Always had people around but not really friends

I was talking to my parents about how much it hurt that I seem to get used by friends or they just don’t care about me. How no friends have really been real and those who were moved far away as kids or transferred out of my college. They kinda were brushing it off “move on” type stuff when I wanted to talk to someone. I snapped and told them about how I felt lonely in my own home bc of them never being there and my dad goes on about how my mom would cry for me…BUT WHY WERE YOU NEVER THERE FOR ME

Doesn’t help that the ONLY light I had (other than my pup) left. My bf and I dated a month before he was sent to Korea and we made it work for 7 months but he said it wasn’t healthy for me and he couldn’t “keep doing this” to me. He’s the one who helped me get over the fear of therapists and was there when I needed someone. My mom just shit talks him and calls him selfish when he did more for me than they did…
