Okay f*****g fine
I guess I'm down to LITERALLY NO ONE IN MY LIFE IS AN ACTUAL FRIEND

Not even one

The way people who I thought were friends actually respond to me is clearly they're just tolerating me.

I send an old friend of mine a few texts just to let her know I value her friendship. It starts out nice and she shifts to more or less tell me that the past is the past and we can't dwell on it?!?!?! What in the actual goddamn mother f**k? I'm just trying to do the be vulnerable thing and let people know you value them and that's when she decides to throw in a little off-hand remark basically saying we were friends once upon a time but now...

Seriously no one is trustworthy. No one has a heart. Humanity is just an evolved predator that is kind to its young for evolutionary purposes but no one gives an absolute s**t about you.

And IIIIIIIIIIIII lack empathy?!?!?!?!


I spit on humanity. Pahtooie! :eew:
At least you have your faithful skunk to warm your feet, and cyberdude to stimulate you intellectually. :mrgreen:
Want a back rub? 8)

I always need a backrub
I could literally spend the entire day getting a back rub and it would not be enough
My spine is made of steel, I am perpetually uncomfortable


Well, a skunk's arms aren't that long.
Ask cyber. :mrgreen:

Where is he, btw? :scratch:

It's raining beautifully here, but that means I can't walk the kids. <sigh>
I want to exercise.

0. Reasons why it's currently zero:
-Had a previous friend turn very toxic against me last year. Had to leave for my own mental being.
-Social anxiety feels worse than ever.
-Prefer being alone.
-Easier to embrace being alone.

I understand. I feel how weird I come across to people now it just makes me feel embarrassed to be around them. Plus they're really just all the same version of the same thing over and over again I don't find it amusing to be around or pretend to find some common ground and forge a connection. There is basically no common ground. Why bother.

I wouldn't know. I don't use facebook.
I think the best answer to your question would be, is this website facebook? Oh look, it's not. So the answer to your question is no.
