Ive done it short term (up to 6 months), for me it was a relief, albeit temporary. But once contact was reinitiated the same issues were there. Same black clouds, negative energy. Could it be me looking for the negatives? Possibly. but I’m trying to accept that people for the most part don’t change and to keep those people at a distance for my sanity.

I can live without the constant contact. I don’t go by the ‘family is all you got’ or whatever IG quotes they say about sticking by your fam, usually their ones that can fukk you up the most
That’s me exactly.

What's going on breh?
People are fukking liars bro. Liars and fakes.
Not to mention people get one leg up and think they can look down on everyone else. They lie about caring for you just so they can feel superior to you and gaslight you. nikkas who would be right where you are if not for a lucky break. Which I’m not hating on, but don’t act better because of it.

these nikkas won’t call and ask how you doin for a week, but they tell you to reach out to them. But when you do reach out they act you’re bothering them and you’re crazy when you bring it up.

I’m on my fukking own in this shyt. fukk men and women. I just don’t fit in this shyt

Weird State find myself in currently, been dealing with a breakup/Family issues past 6-7 months & just feel empty now that everything starting to open and and starting to hit the bars/clubs. Like I don’t enjoy any of it at all which I did just 6-7 months ago. Just something off

I'd say you know what your circle is about and know when to distance yourself from them.

That said, there are some genuine people in this world that we can surround ourselves with. You'll find them.

Reality is sadly a lot of people dont really care about you like you care for them.
Same time we cant really expect them too sadly...Sometimes people going through their own ish and sometimes they simply just dont care.
When you find people that do hold onto them trust me.

I know exactly how you feel and felt the same resentment.

For me I'm the type to have people through thick and thin...Even when mentally I'm done and i want out I've still been there for others when they needed me.

I currently feel the exact same way towards a friend of mine, whenever I've mentioned my mental health in the past and ish I go through hes quite dismissive.
He went through a breakup and I helped him out best I could...Longer than I wanted to as he sounded like a broken record in all honesty and I aint ever experienced heartbreak but I still was as sympathetic as possible and offered advice.
Now he flexing how mentally strong he is like I aint see him in awful state over some girl he was in a short relationship wid...:stopitslime:

Saw something the other day about staying solid on your end regardless of what other people do.
And its right you do, but same time dont let them use you just to drop their emotional baggage off...I've been guilty of letting people do this even If its unintentional.
I aint taking on nobodies problems if they aint trying to hear or help with mine.

I've consciously tried to be less of a go to person for people I feel that haven't actually appreciated and understood the lengths I've gone to actually try and help them.

Like I'll still be there and try and help but I'm trying to be more passive, as before I'd literally put my life on pause to help...I cant do that anymore but aint nobody doing the same for me

As I get older, to just not care AT ALL what public perception is of you or what anyone cares/thinks about you is probably the key to life and I envy those who do
This has been my problem over the years...Although not as bad as I used to be when I was younger.

I think I dont care but I do care...
I notice this with how I move on social media, I dont really show my personality and interests much.
In the back of my mind theres always that thought of what will people think.

Where as some people just do and post what they want and carry on their day without worrying about that.

Definitely a reason why I dont really interact with a lot of people.

I'm a big overthinker I notice all the small shyt people say and do.
I like being black and white and people being black and white with me.
So I know where I stand with them otherwise I just overthink things.

Yeah but you ain't them. Your pain ain't any less valid. As black men we seem to be trained to discount our own pain as invalid no matter the size. It's not really serving us. Grieve it how you can. Shelter is essential to a healthy life bro. So it's a big deal too.
