    Those aren’t friends they’re people who will betray you and believe with every fiber if their being that they’re helping

      It’s beneficial to hang out with normal people too. Even if you have to use social skills to keep hanging out. You lose that link and lose a tether to reality.

        As a kid; parents, the church and community we lived in that turned a blind eye to it. As an adult; myself, both due to poor exposure to healthy relationships as a child and the naivety of believing that institutions like employers, health care, or state agencies existed for the purposes of social support. Ironically, now I spend most of my time with dogs, who’ve never hurt me 🤷‍♂️
