I just wanted some people to talk to about this. Thanks in advance. (:
So basically 95% of my very close friends from high school (I'm 22 now) are now on drugs. Weed, meth, heroin.
I love them dearly. (Or did, I'm confused. Do I love them or the memories? Things have obviously changed.)
I would try to be there for them, but they kept relapsing, and it came to a point where I just changed my number and stopped talking to them. It made me too sad to see people I love drug addicted and homeless and made me feel helpless.
Recently I confronted a friend about her alcohol use. She binges every day. I honestly did this out of serious concern. Not to mention she acts way different, I don't like her when she drinks. She got pissed and wouldn't listen to me. So I dropped her.
I don't know if this is a strength or weakness of mine. I can just drop most anyone. No big deal.
She emailed me telling me I don't have empathy and don't know what love is. I feel like I do know what love is. But some people I need to love from way afar because they do not love themselves. I don't really have friends at this point. But I feel like that's part of growing up and letting go .
What do you think ? Thank you .
