Lately I’ve been in this mindset of needing to talk to people all the time . I have never had a problem being alone and as an introvert being alone is ideal , but lately I have felt really alone and isolated .
I read a quote somewhere that said something to the effect of “the worst place you can be is inside your own head.” Well , as an heavy heavy introvert I live primarily in my head , and all I can think about is the bad that’s happening in the world.
I have always tried my best to be there for people but lately my circle of “ friends “ has made me feel ostrascized for wanting to talk about my fears or even discussing thing s happening currently. I’m frustrated as I feel that when I try to reach out I’m bothering them and beng judged for calling them at all. I admit, I call often to a point where I’m sure it is pretty annoying but it comes from a good place, . I get that people are busy and people have their problems ... I get that and I am not without my own but I don’t appreciate being judged by people who consider themselves my friends. I call because I care , I text because I’m thinking of them , I email to let people know that despite being isolated they are not alone.
I find that when people contact me it’s because they feel obligated or they need something .
I had a falling out with a friend in this circle not to long ago and we still have one mutual acquaintance who for the most part has remained uninvolved in the “drama” but there’s a large part of me that feels I have to hyper aware of what I say or how I say it , for fear or her gossiping with my ex friend behind my back. In a lot of ways I feel that I can’t let my walls down and be authentically myself with this group of people any way because I know anything I say will be used against me .
In a lot of ways I feel that their hostility comes from a resentment of seeing me do well and in a good place right now. That in of itself is very frustrating as they know I have dealt with my fair share of hard times in the past , and now I have one little patch of happiness to myself for the time being and I can’t even enjoy that. I feel like my whole life I have attracted users ,flakes , and bullies . I don’t know why . My ex friend accused me of having trust issues and having extreme paranoia when she herself stabbed me in the back.
I don’t get it , I just don’t get it. Maybe I’m
More out of touch with reality than I thought , and yes I can be obnoxious . I just overwhelmed , over tired really need solid reliable people in my life right now. #FAKEFRIENDS
