I think it’s ok to step back, and say “I’ve had enough of people for a while”, and spend some time focusing on you. It can be tough being alone, but it’s better than being with toxic or abusive people.
All I would add is that please don’t give up. I am a great believer that life is precious, and I say that as someone who has on a very few occasions in the past just wanted it all to end and for the pain to go away. Fortunately, I think deep down, I kept a glimmer of hope and focus on this concept that life is precious, and there there is always a way out of the darkness into the light. I hope you can find that path too, and eventually find some peace and happiness.
Best wishes

Hello @
NovaBlaze, thank you for your thoughts and support!
I am certainly recoiling from people, generally speaking. I think most people suck. I prefer nature, animals, and solo adventures on my own. The older and wiser I get, the more I dislike people.
Most people are really screwed up, at least in MY experience. Yes, I've had more than enough of terrible people in my life. Maybe I just happen to have run across the sour apples, but this is my experience, and therefore, my experience shapes my opinions and outlook.
I am doing Ok though, nonetheless. The more I cut out toxic people. the more peaceful my life has become! And I am generally pretty Ok these days. My life has been stable for the last year with no crises or upheavals. My job is going pretty well, I am successful in my career, and I love my home and my closest friends and family. Overall, I cannot complain too much, but these incidents that occur from time to time with toxic people CAN get me down.
So avoidance is my approach these days.
