This is exactly what I'm learning in therapy. Bad relationships will leave you feeling lonelier and hurt in so many other ways, it's never worth the temporary companionship.

Easier said than done when you have literally no one. I don't even mean romantically, I'd be thrilled with a friend.

I know this isn't exactly related to this post, but I just wanted to say how truly happy I am that this subreddit is a safe place for women. In today's world, there aren't many safe places for us anymore, but to have one genuine place online that is run by women, for women; that's special to me.

I'm the loneliest I've ever been in my entire life. I broke up with my abusive boyfriend which led me to really scrutinize the quality of all my relationships and I realized that almost everyone I've invited into my life wasn't treating me right. My main friend group had a very mean girls quality to it, another friend tried to groom me to have a threesome with her and her fiancé, and I hit my limit with my mother's narcissism and my father's callousness. Cut my friends out and distanced myself from my parents. Right now the only person I really socialize with is one of my brothers. I adopted a cat from a shelter and she's been a balm. It's good to have a pet to take care of that shows you affection even when no one else does.

It's been hard but I know it's necessary for my own wellbeing. Going forward, anyone I allow into my life is going to be thoroughly vetted. I'm not tolerating being mistreated anymore.

I went back and it's leaving me more angry than ever.

Don’t sweat the times you have gone awry either.

You learnt the phenomena of men, so far unknown to you, now to be known. A wilderness of warning may have never been enough to show you settled. You gave away nothing - just time☝️We shall know the tree by its fruit and proceed accordingly 💕💕

Amen!!!! Preach it!!

Exactly a year ago today, I did this. My cat had passed away 2 days before and I was in a very low, lonely place. So that morning when I got the text. “Hi. How have you been?”, my stomach sank. But I still responded. After he quit talking for 2 months, I responded.

And proceeded on a 10 month rollercoaster of gaslighting, manipulation, and emotional abuse that I could have avoided if I’d heeded FDS then.

I just went through a breakup and most of my friends were somewhat toxic so I’ve distanced myself from a lot of them and completely cut ties with a few. I’m not willing to keep trying to make one-sided friendships work. It was taking so much out of me and I lost myself in the process. Not worth it. But lately, I feel really lonely, it sucks. I kind of wish I had more friends to talk to.

I’ve been taking time to focus on myself and get back into my hobbies like painting, and photography, which has been helpful to keep my mind off things. I may adopt a cat again tomorrow as well.

Thank you for posting this, I needed the reminder. ❤️

I swear I was on instagram the past two days and seeing so many pickmes, toxic relationship examples, and toxic comments from pickmes and men.

Sometimes I just need to come here to feel better.
