Hi. No, don't accept cruelty from those other friends please, mountainstream. A person really can't be a true friend if they're cruel to you. I had a friend like that for many years and I accepted a lot of b.s., and I was never like that. It wasn't until I woke up, to myself, that we just stopped being friends. And that's okay.

Anyway, hope you're feeling better soon. Life's painful sometimes, but you'll figure it out.
