"Friends"

Please excuse all swearing in this. I'm very, very frustrated, on the break of snapping. Everything I say will probably sound salty or rude, but, it is not my intention to offend anyone if that happens.

I'll be honest, I'm about to burst with anger at this point.

Friends..

It's what we call people we're close to, right?

Friends are usually healthy for people!

People with truthful friendships have experienced less stress.

Our friendships are among the most valuable relationships we have. We gain in various ways from different friendships. We may talk to friends in confidence about things we wouldn't discuss with our families. Our friends may annoy us, but they can also keep us going.

Friendship is a crucial element in protecting our mental health. We need to talk to our friends and we want to listen when our friends want to talk to us. Our friends can keep us grounded and can help us get things in perspective. It is worth putting effort into maintaining our friendships and making new friends. Friends form one of the foundations of our ability to cope with the problems that life throws at us.

But not all friends have such a salutary effect. Some lie, insult and betray. Some are overly needy. Some give too much advice. Others backstab. One of the most common, Promise Breakers.

Psychologists and sociologists are now calling attention to the negative health effects of bad friends.

I've had mental illnesses all my life.

I'll it, I'm pretty fucked up.

However, I'm getting better.

But, let's get to the main focus of this post.

I was recently abandoned by two friends because they "Couldn't handle me".

Your probably wondering what this has to do with friends, huh?

Friends with mental illnesses.

If you can't handle someone with a mental illness, why even make that friend in the first place? Why be there and lie to them? Why just sit there and not be active when you promised to be there and stay?

I mean really.

I grew so close to some friends. One of them here on the Little Nightmares Amino (I will not state her name because I don't want to witch hunt, however, some of the staff know her).

I was so close to her, and we even called each other sister!

However...

That was cut off. She said to another girl what she didn't want me to do.

Eventually I confronted her, and Hell, she itted that they talked behind my back. What shit they said, I don't know for sure. Probably stuff that would fuck me up if I heard.

I was a rose being held by people who had no intention to keep me.

Those girls fall into the categories of:

∞❥ Backstabbing

∞❥ Promise Breaker

∞❥ Liar

∞❥ Hell, Even insult.

What makes it sad is that they knew I had plenty of problems.

Yet, they made the choice to stay.

Eventually, they became quite toxic.

Look. What I'm trying to get at this is;

∞❥ True friends stay for years.

∞❥ True friends love you no matter what.
