Relationships suck

Why use someone and then throw them away after? Someone that I thought was going to be there for me when I needed it, would just ghost me or prioritize other people. When she needed support, I always had her back. But when I needed help, she turned the other way. I hate being manipulated into thinking that I'm the problem, because I already blame myself enough as it is. I wish I could just turn off all my emotions because I hate caring for people that don't care in the slightest about me back.

I totally get where you're coming from and it's a pet peeve of mine when people aren't there for you when they should be🙄😒

I totally understand. Ive lost all my friends this past couple of years. A lot of disappointment and it's hard not to build up an angry wall against people. I wonder how people find "decent" friends. They've gotta be out there. I'm married into a family that is so close but after 16 years my name is still not in my father in laws phone and my mother in law doesn't even know where I'm from. Every family member has let me down.
