Hey guys , I just cut ties with two friends today. They were upset that I wasn't able to attend their Halloween party (because I had an event that night for my college thesis). I think there were some underlying issues there, but it's weird because they know I have to work...

Anyone else ever have this happen to them?

I've cut ties with friends before for illogical reasons. Like your situation, I realized there were underlying issues involved.

Maybe this will end more less like a string you cut and more like a boomerang you threw out. Friends come back together sometimes...

Sorry you're going through this. It can be painful to lose friends.

Thanks Yeah, it was pretty emotionally taxing talking to them most of the time, but I don't blame it on them. They have a lot of mental troubles and not the best friend/family examples to follow or encourage them. I hope they get proper recovery. It sucks that they had to insult me though ha

I make a new friend organically usually 3-4 years after my last one. I've recently upgraded from flakes to my first workaholic. Now I'm feeling like I'm about to show my illness, I don't find friends to be very legitimate. I'm in a place where my lover is my friend. And she's just crazy enough to empathize with my illness. But not so much where we generate more illness. I feel like, because I'm mentally ill that people will exploit me or discriminate against me. Condolences on your loss.

To Day I am seriously ready to not only cut off a friend but chop off a friend.
