People who complain about how terrible their friends are and how they don't have any genuine friends, are frequently the people who are terrible. If you are honestly going through life without any true friends, the problem isn't other people. It's you.I agree that friends are over-hyped. If they're just going to bail on you when you have real emotional problems that you need help overcoming, after you spent a decade listening to them cry over every fleeting relationship that was doomed to fail from the start, then what was the point in being friends in the first place? The idea of dealing with someone else's emotional needs and then having to come home and deal with my mom's as well is just too overwhelming to bear thinking about.
I used to have lots of great friends, honestly more than I felt I really deserved, because I admit I'm not the nicest person to be around sometimes. But when my life went from typical stupid #20something #firstworldproblems to actual serious problems, like my mom trying to commit suicide and becoming estranged with my stepfather, along with her being chronically ill (which had been ongoing for a while) my friends found better things to do with their time than spend it around me. And I certainly can't blame them, but I'm not really interested in making new friends nor really sure how to do so in adulthood.People who complain about how terrible their friends are and how they don't have any genuine friends, are frequently the people who are terrible.

Tell your mom to fuck off you spineless chickenshit.PS: My mom just had 20 boxes of hardwood flooring delivered that she impulse-bought from a liquidation outlet. Wants me to install it under the direction of my 80 year old neighbor who's a carpenter, because we did such a lovely job on the kitchen.
Hardwood floors. In the whole fucking house. She's a furniture hoarder, so I'm going to spend days emptying every room in the house to work. 'Luckily' it's a small house.
And work/school starts back in full force next week.
