I’m sorry you’re also having these kinds of difficulties. I have people like you describe, generally only contact me when they want me to do something for them or go out because they don’t want to go out alone.

I wasted a lot of time convincing myself that those people were friends. In the end I’d rather have no one than friends like that.

I definitely feel like a hermit. Mostly because of where I live and that med that I was taking.

I figure I’ve been given a 2nd chance. And I’m going to take it and run with it as far and as hard as I can. I don’t mind that things are difficult or are going to take time to fix, but in the moment, it can hurt like hell to see the reality of your situation.
