I have two friends right now - one is amazing, selfless and supportive (I met her in May and I just told her a month ago I have BP) It took me 3 years to figure out the other one collects friends based on how they will serve her needs (doctors, jeweler, restaurant managers, etc.)
I pretty much stay away from everybody else or they don't stick around long.

yep that makes unfortunate sense...
it's such an unreliable thing...I was programmed to break away...
superficial does not work with mental illness ...not at all..superficial intimacy whatever...endearment?....
...our priorities are different...
it just helps not to get attached ...but...sometimes this happens and the disillusionment is diabolical cos no-one can follow you ...everyone else doesn't have to move to even arrive at where they want to go...
we travel so far just to get away from what we already know...ouch!
