Wherever I look, I see only bad friends(who are not friends in real but only people who want to get ahead of me in life. They are pretend-friends). I have got only one good friend. All the rest have only double-crossed me. I am feeling so angry! What should I do?

Hello psychoticcr7: Well... from the Skeezyks' perspective... if you have one good friend... you're not doing too badly. (The Skeezyks has never had any.) Friends come, & friends go. Some may be good friends. But many will just turn out to be passing acquaintances, or even rivals, as you mention. So, from the Skeezyks' perspective, perhaps it would be best to simply try to focus on other things... whatever you have in your life that is important... schooling, career, etc. & try to avoid getting caught up in worrying about how many friends you have. Friendship isn't something one can force, from the Skeezyks' perspective. It either happens or it doesn't.

As far as the anger goes, what the Skeezyks does is to lean into it, breathe with it, perhaps even smile to it, & then let it dissipate at it's own pace. Your anger has no power over you beyond what you cede it.

Having one good friend is ok
I agree with Skeezyks

I agree. Having one good friend is better than being surrounded by fake people. I've been there.

If you're not already at this point (it took me a while), learn to love hanging out with yourself. This will help you to gain more confidence for future friendships, which will inevitably come around. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but they always do.

Good luck!

I came here for the same reason. People don't try to understand what bipolar people go through or maybe they just don't care. I am really having a hard time with my spouse. I don't know how to get him to understand. We've been together for 6yrs now. We have a 20yr old and 4yr old. So we got back together from a break up(mydoing).
I just need to vent to people that get it
