#tw mentions of toxic friendships

[rose-riot-johnson]

Hey Tumblr Peeps😃👍For the previous Kafka Hibino fanfic (which was the first Kaiju No. 8 fanfic I've written), any1 (excluding myself😅) who has liked and rebloged, thank you for supporting this particular Kafka fanfic I'm mentioning about😁👍I was going to originally work on another project, however I think writing a Kafka Hibino comfort is needed in so many ways and I figured try to write about it for the 2nd Kafka Hibino fanfic (and 2nd Kaiju No. 8 fanfic) and I have good intentions to write this🫂💡

*This fanfic contains pronouns and 1 or more long paragraphs😅

💚We Need To Have A Talk...💚(Kafka Hibino x Any Gender Reader)

Genres: Comfort (Warning ⚠️: Language and Mentions of Toxic Friendships)

You and Kafka have been in a relationship for atleast quite a few months (a year the most). While you and Kafka do have disagreements once in a while, your relationship with him is pretty, peaceful and healthy, otherwise. However that one night after he came home from fighting the bad Kaiju, you seemed to be starting to change and not for the good.

Kafka asked if there's anything bothering you, you tried you best not to snap, as you choked up and said, "It's best I don't talk about it right now, Kafka...", which he respected your wishes and decided not to pry anything out of you. Unfortunately as time went by, your well-being has gotten worse. He tried calling your parents, other family members, and your closest friends to see, if they knew about anything bothering you, which non of them did knew nothing about it, as they told him thanks for asking them and he thanked them for being honest with him. He then asked Reno Ichikawa for advice before he gave Kafka some advice to have a talk with you.

Once Kafka got home, you were taking a shower, then he noticed your cellphone and as much as, he hates snooping into someone's personal belongings, especially invading your privacy by looking at your messages, he knew he had to do something to try to understand why you're hurting inside. A few minutes went by he has noticed a person who you used to talked to on (social media app up to the reader's imagination), however you had blocked the person and most of the messages were deleted from your conversation with, and only saw the last messages you and the online person who goes by (ex friend social media name). Before Kafka could even get off of the app that your ex friend was on, you were already done showering and dressed, as you complained, "Why are you invading my privacy, Kafka? I thought you were better than this! You shouldn't be snooping through my stuff, especially my cellphone! How would you like it someone did that to you!", as you've given him an angry look on your face. "Look, babe... I just needed to know why you've been hurting... I'm just trying to look out for your well-being... And honestly I have nothing to hide... We need to have a talk... Mind telling me what this is about, (Any Gender Reader Name)?", he replied as he then showed you, the messages between you and an ex friend (which only showed the last few messages between you and the ex friend) that was left in your conversation with (him/her/them), as he's very concerned about you.

The moment you realized that Kafka found out who caused you, so much pain with (his/her/their messages), you knew you had that talk about it sooner or later, regardless if you want to or not. You just weren't sure who else to talk to. "As you can see Kafka, my toxic friendship with (ex friend social media name)... ((S)he/they) did play the victim to me and mention stories of blocking those who called (him/her/them) toxic and (other stuff the ex friend was called) or sometimes come crying to me about a broken heart or finds another reason to come crying to me. I thought I was doing (him/her/them) a favor and was being empathetic and sympathetic, however I'm starting to think I either gotten "too soft" or I've hurt the person or I'm not a good friend to anyone, once I either took too long to reply or try to help (him/her/them), I got told "Naw I'm done with you, you no good piece of trash." and "I'll fogive you! I sometimes don't forgive myself, so you have to fucken deal with it and suck up everything I do when you don't respond to me fast enough and say something that tells me it's your fault that I'm mad!", type of crap, so as you can see, before I blocked them, I told them the friendship is over and (up to the reader's imagination on what (his/her/their) lasts words to the toxic ex friend in the final message are)... it still hurts, however I felt like I brought this on myself and I should have ended it a week or so before this...", you stated, before went to hug him, as you began to sob, to the point your chest started to hurt.

Kafka felt sad for you, however he knew he has to be for comfort, so he decided to wrap his arms around you tightly, before replying, "I may not know alot about what was going on here, however I can see you're hurt badly in a toxic friendship... I think you're being too hard on yourself... Seems to me like this person used you to tell you their drama and disguising (his/her/their) poison, as venting to try to prevent you from seeing red flags... It's not your fault that ((s)he/they) want to be, like this person made it out to be. You're not reasonable for anyone's emotions, but your own... It's on (him/her/them), if ((s)he/they) won't forgive you for something petty! You don't need to take anyone's dookie like this! I clearly understand that you want to be free from the pain brought up on you... Yes, you overlooked the red flags, however you should have been warned, atleast by anyone who knew the toxic ex friend of yours. The best thing you did was block the jerk! You may have not asked for this advice, however if you really want to be free, just delate your conversation with that person... This person seems to lack true sympathy, true empathy, and the care on how both (his/her/their) words and actions affect others... I'm not sure if they're intentionally mean or just doesn't realize they're mean, however what that person did to your well-being is very cruel... I just don't want to to people please nor become cold hearted towards others, because of what that person did to you... You could either warn others about the person or since you enjoy writing fanfics very much, you could write it in a fanfic, or some self care... I just don't want you to feel like you have to change yourself for others... It's good to be selfless and think of others, but there are cases where you can't please everyone and it's really not healthy to choose to keep everyone else happy over your well-being and your authenticity... Okay?". "Okay Kafka... I understand... Thank you for being there for me, Hibino...", you replied back, as you sobbed less and trying to better your composure. He replied again, "No problem, (Any Gender Reader Name)... And since you're paying for your own bills and I'm the only one planning to put a ring on your finger one day... It's best you stop caring about their expectations with you or if they get upset and/or disappointed in you... Also, please don't change for me, just to keep me happy... You're very important to me and your well-being is important to me, too... And I love you, just the way you are, my cutie...", before he started petting the back of your head.

Once you started to feel better, Kafka letted you have your cellphone back, as you then decided to go in your messages with your ex friend and delete your conversation with that person forever. You then looked at Kafka and said, "By the way, Kafka... Thanks for opening my eyes about the situation... And even if I didn't want to talk about it, I'm very glad, I talked with you about it, after all... If it wasn't for you wanting to have a talk with me about the toxic ex friend, I would have tried figuring out a way to unblock the person to try to quickly confront the person on how I truly felt about them and probably risk getting attacked or reported or even in trouble in other ways... Wheather you realize it or not you talked me out of it... ((S)he may have feed me, (his/her/their) poison, lying to me that I'm (his/her/their) best friend ever, then decide betrayed me in a very painful way, however you've released me from my chains and healed me from the poison (ex friend social media name) has tricked me into drinking... Thank you for healing me from the pain... Now I remember why you're the best thing to ever happen to me... You're always there for me when I really needed you...", before kissing Kafka's lips, as he then blushed. He then replied, "Strange way of mentioning the metaphor in a good way... Anyways you're very welcome (handsome/beautiful)... Remember what I said... And take no more shit... Especially from me, even tough I plan to put a ring on your finger one day...", as he smiled and kissed you on the lips back. You smiled, as you blushingly, replied back, "Okay, Kafka...".

After that day, Kafka had a talk with you, with some time of healing, you began to feel free, once again, as you were able to enjoy yourself (and your relationship with Kafka again). You even madesure not to take shit from anyone, especially from toxic friends. Kafka has also enjoyed that new fire you have shown, especially when you shown him that fire towards him.

Months went by, Kafka then proposed to you and engagement ring, which you told him "yes", as he then put an engagement on your ring finger. The both of you then became eachother's fiancees. He also happily, whispered in your ear, "Remember what I said, don't change for me, just to make me happy... Just because I put a ring on your finger, you're not obligated to change for me... I still want you to be yourself, especially with me, (Any Gender Reader)...", before kissing one of your facial cheeks, as he then took you to a hotel for you and Kafka to spend atleast one night in, as your big pampering surprise of the night.

💚The End💚

I will admit, my Tumblr Peeps... I could have atleast try to or could have written about any character(s) pertaining toxic friendships, such as All Might (My Hero Academia), Verosika (Helluva Boss), Spinner (real name, Shuichi Iguchi)(My Hero Academia), a fanfic story about a Flareon comforting Vaporeon having the reader be either of them, or even a couple other fanfic ideas for that topic, however I decided to choose Kafka Hibino for this fanfic💚 I am way more than 💯% confident that I will be completing this fanfic about Kafka without procrastination, I also fully know what to write with this fanfic (especially with writing this fanfic, as I go), and Kafka is definitely 1 of the characters I felt passionate for and know I want to see about investing to write more fanfics about him, atleast in the near future💚 Reasons for the toxic friendship topic for my 2nd time writing a fanfic about him, is because I felt that I'm more than fully going to commit to writing about him for that topic, writing about him important to me and so is writing a fanfic pertaining a toxic friendship💚 So, if you're a fan of Kafka (from Kaiju No. 8), has went through a toxic friendship (online or in person), and felt the need to read it, I hope this Kafka fanfic does help make your day and/or night better☀️🌞🌕🌝💚Even if you haven't went through a toxic friendship, while you're a fan of Kafka, I still hope you enjoyed this fanfic about him💚 Any1 who enjoyed the fanfic and/or has felt better from reading this fanfic about Kafka, I'm very glad that I have helped💚🫂Usually I say a few usual stuff and really entertain readers, for after the fanfic for this post, however the conclusion isn't just entertainment truth, while I did write this for fun, however for any1 wanting to specifically read about him, as comfort, even while trying cope with a toxic friendship, regardless if the friendship ended or not, I whole heartily hope this fanfic helps you go through times like this🫂💚

I have this reoccurring problem where I feel like I've found a friend in someone, and then some time later, this person does something to hurt me, and rather than apologizing, they snap at me, act like I'm awful and a nuisance to them, and generally get very angry with me. First it makes me feel guilty, and I go over everything I did to see how I deserved this, but then I realize I didn't do anything, they just hurt me and snapped at me, made me feel like it's my fault. And then I get scared that this person could do that, because I can't even imagine doing that to anyone, it's so deeply unethical and shitty, but people do it like it's their second nature. Once I realize that this person scares me, I know I have to get distance and move away from the friendship if I don't want to live a very anxious and triggering life, so I do that. And thus I have no friends anymore.

Now for me, this occurred easily over 30 or 40 times with different people, to the point where I've started to wonder if I maybe draw this behaviour out of them. Because I will usually pick people who I believe would never do that, who seem to be kind, understanding, gentle, funny, easy going, I go for that almost every time, and still they snap at me. I'm wondering if it's because everyone in their mind thinks there's one person somewhere they're allowed to snap at, and since I'm very mild tempered, easy going and understanding, it feels to them like snapping at me couldn’t possibly have any consequences?  Again, I don't understand this, I would rather never snap at any person in my life.

My problem is that sometimes, I end up very bonded to these people, and I start building hope that maybe I could be normal, have friends, function in society, just because it feels for a bit like I'm accepted, I'm allowed to socialize and chat and joke around and tell things to someone, and this means the world to me. I've lived in an environment where I was not allowed any of that. So when these specific people snap at me, my hopes crumble to the ground, and I'm back into the place where I don't feel like I'm a person anymore. Even worse, I get triggered back into my childhood, where my parents screamed at me telling me how disgusting I am, how nobody will ever want anything to do with me, and how I'm the worst thing to ever exist on the planet. That's how I end up feeling when anyone turns against me, or abandons me. I keep it to myself, because I don't want the triggers affecting the friendship. But they affect me deeply.

That feeling of someone I care about finding me disgusting and awful and poisonous gives me so much pain I want to curl up and disappear. I want to not exist anymore. I would rather be alone forever than experience more of that. And that's exactly what I do; I curl up in my own little corner and don't socialize out of terror that more of this will happen, because it does happen so often and I still never see it coming.

I know on some deeply logical level, that people are snapping at me because it's easier for them to do that than to face that they've done something wrong, that they've hurt our friendships and acted badly towards me; they need it to be my fault so they'd feel better about themselves. Taking it out on me is just an easy route because I have zero vindication in me and probably won't ever snap back or get angry in return; I'll just withdraw. I'm always too worried I've genuinely done something wrong when it happens, I'll apologize a thousand times, I'll spend a while trying to figure out what's the truth, and then before I even think about getting angry, I'll be swallowed by pain and sorrow that this happened to me again.

Has anyone found any ways to have people not snap at you when they hurt you? What kind of change in attitude would achieve this? Do I just have bad friend-picking skills? Is this just a normal part of life that other people can handle because being snapped on doesn't make them suicidal? Is it considered normal that your friend will sometimes snap at you when they hurt you? Is it not a glaring red flag? In some cases people will not only snap but also gaslight me about what happened, and I know gaslighting is way over the line. Has this been happening to others? Please give me any opinions or experiences of this, especially if you found a way to deal with it.

Toxic Friends: A Hello Neighbor Fanfic

By JJ

Summary: Finch and Delroy going from toxic to real.

(P.S., half inspired by @fazbearedits !)

If there were people you'd least expect to be friends, it'd be Finch and Delroy.

They weren't exactly best friends, they were second best friends, sure. They only got along because of their shared hatred for weirdos like Nicky Roth or Aaron Peterson.

And because Aaron scared them to death most of the time.

They surprisingly got along really well. They talked, sometimes ate lunch together, and they'd meet in some places in town to just hang out when they haven't seen each other in a while. Finch would always bring snacks.

"You got the stuff?", Delroy asked her one time they met at the dog park.

"Pfft, do I have the stuff? Hell yeah I got the stuff.", said Finch.

She pulled from her bag two boxes of sugar baked cookies and a small pack of soda.

"HELL YEAH!", Delroy shouted in excitement.

As they sat down at a park bench and chatted with each other, the conversation slowly started to turn a little...shaky.

"Dude, I can't keep bringing snacks for you.", said Finch, "If I do, you'll end up on that one show "My 600 Pound Life"."

Delroy looked at her like she just grew a tail, "What's wrong with being fat? Am I not allowed to be proud of who I am?"

"Not if who you are is a fucking whale."

Regardless, Delroy kept eating. But later, he couldn't help but realize that maybe Finch was right. He was getting a little bit too big.

So he started eating only half of his lunch and drink whenever it was time for lunch.

Another thing that Finch found weird about Delroy was that he never hung out with guys. Sure, he had friends who were girls, but not one friend of his was just...a guy.

"Are you gay or something?", she asked him once as they walked home together.

"No.", he said immediately, then he looked at her, confused. "Why?"

"Because for as long as I've known you, you've never had a guy friend.", replied Finch. "You're always hanging out with me and my friends."

Delroy couldn't help but roll his eyes, "So? You hang out with girls all the time, but I don't call you a lesbian."

Now it was Finch's turn to roll her eyes.

"Look, I just find girls easier to get along with. I live with my auntie after all, and we're inseparable.", said Delroy. "Also, I do have a guy friend. He -"

"Dog doesn't count. He's a pet, not a friend."

"He's man's best friend!"

As time continued to pass, their friendship stayed that way.

One time, Delroy found Finch crying by herself on a bench. When he went over to her, she jumped up and backed away.

"Easy, girl. It's just me.", he said. But that didn't calm Finch down.

"What're you doing here, dude?", she asked, a little snappier than usual. "I just saw you crying, so I'm here to comfort you and listen to the reason why you're being such a sad sack."

"None of your freaking business, dude!"

The girl scout got up and walked away, leaving her friend standing at the bench completely baffled.

When he went to go talk to her dad about it, he told him that Finch had been really moody and upset ever since she left Lucy's funeral. Delroy immediately understood.

Since Finch and Lucy were cousins, Delroy understood that she had a right to be upset.

But she'd been dead for over a decade now, and it didn't excuse why she was still more of a bitch than usual.

He thought maybe he needed some time away from her, so when the new girl, Trinity asked him to come along with her and her friend to the abandoned Golden Apple Amusement Park, he immediately agreed.

But when Finch cornered him to ask him about it, all hell could've broken loose in that moment.

"Why're you hanging out with Trinity?", she asked.

"Because I want to.", replied Delroy, "I might hang out with girls a whole bunch, but I can't spend every second with the same ones. I wanna make some friends of my own."

"But why with her?", the girl scout pointed at Trinity, who was getting something from her locker. "She's almost as crazy as Nutty Nicky. Not too long ago, she ran away from the lunch lady after she cut a piece of turkey."

Delroy rolled his eyes, "So? Maybe she's vegan, I don't know."

Finch felt like punching herself or him in the face, "Delroy, what's worse is that she's part of the freaking Inventor's Club! That's a nerd herd right there! You can't be seen hanging out with those geeks, or you'll end up like them."

Before Finch could rant on more, Delroy just turned around and walked away from his friend.

Finch kicked the locker in anger. "God!", she nearly yelled.

As time went by, Finch could only watch as her so-called friend hung out more with the Inventor's Club, with Nutty Nicky. What's worse is that he seemed to be enjoying it.

Even when her friends talked to him at lunch saying that they couldn't hang out with him anymore because he was hanging out with nerds, he couldn't care less.

It really drove the girl scout up the wall.

One night, Finch just got out of the shower, then she got a call on her phone. She dried herself off and quickly answered, and she so badly wished she hadn't when she heard who it was.

"Finch.", Delroy spoke through the phone, "Do you have time to talk?"

"Wouldn't you rather talk to one of your nerd friends?", asked Finch, "Plus, I'm busy. So whatever you have to say, say it fast."

"Dog got run over by a truck."

Finch nearly dropped the phone, but she continued to listen to Delroy rant about his dead dog.

"It's not fair, man!", he cried, "This is some - UGH! HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND!"

Finch rolled her eyes, "Delroy, he was a dog!", she said. "Get over it, you can always get a new dog."

"NO I CAN'T! DOG WAS SPECIAL!"

"Oh my God, you're so freaking impossible sometimes!"

"What is wrong with you?!", Delroy asked through the phone. "I tried comforting you when Lucy died, and you fucking pushed me away. Now that someone I love is dead, you can't show the tiniest bit of sympathy?! I can always get a new dog, but you can't get a new cousin!"

Before he could say more, Finch hung up the phone and threw it on her bed in anger. She got dressed and stormed out of her room, thinking that maybe some fresh air would help her clear her mind.

More time passed, from the newspaper article incident, to the broken camera, then Finch being forced to apologize to Nicky by the Inventor's Club.

Finch's friends told her that she wasn't allowed to be seen with them anymore, and Finch was absolutely destroyed. When Delroy confronted her about it, all hell broke loose at that moment.

"How's it feel to get a taste of your own medicine, hm?", he asked. "Shut up.", said Finch.

"No, Finch. You shut up.", said Delroy. "You're just experiencing how I felt after everything you put me through. And it hurts, doesn't it?"

The girl scout scoffed, "Could you blame me though? You were hanging out with the geek freaks! Especially Nutty Nicky! You don't even like him!"

"He's fun to talk to. Or at least he was until you and everyone else in the school fucked him up for no reason other than to be assholes!"

Finch tugged at her bangs in frustration, "I honestly don't see how you and I have stayed friends for so long without killing each other."

"I wondered that every day of our half friendship.", said Delroy. "And I'm not sure I want to be friends with you anymore. You make fun of my weight, my choice in friends, and you didn't offer me a sliver of comfort when Dog died. I'm done being friends with you, Finch. Have fun being a lonely nobody."

Then he walked away, leaving Finch to herself.

But as more time passed, Nicky had managed to convince Finch to join the Inventor's Club, and to convince the gang to give her another chance to be better. Everyone reluctantly agreed, and Finch had made some good progress.

She was being nicer, and she didn't talk behind anyone's back anymore. What's even better was that she didn't call Nicky "Sick Nick" or "Nutty Nicky" anymore.

Then slowly, her and Delroy's friendship had mended.

They weren't really back to where they were previously before they joined the club, but they tolerated each other enough to where they could talk to each other like real friends. Even lightly teasing each other here and there.

"Didn't think you'd find yourself here of all places, did you?", Delroy asked his girl scout friend as the gang ate their lunch together.

"No.", replied Finch, "But I'm glad I did. And I'm glad we're on good terms now."

"Ha. Yeah, me too, girl scout."

TITHING

But you are a compassionate

And gracious God,

And I, your humble lamb.

So when I turn 10 months old

And start to defy,

Take me to the slaughterhouse

And I will comply.

Let me be stunned and sticked

And let me bleed as a reminder of your tenderness.

Let all that you do to me

Be done in love.

[borderline-culture-is]

(let's see if this will be posted on October 11 that'd be very funny)

(tw for toxic friendships, mentions of sui and self harm probably)

Bpd and bipolar culture is still splitting on your whole online friend group for more than a week now

Then you'll be resorting to immediately leaving them as soon it's October 11

Why haven't I left them yet? Idk I think itd be more meaningful if my impact would be on the day we all got together

The argument has been going for a while now to be honest.

If they just took my split and went with it say I'm an idiot stop trying to help me and push me away I think it would have been better.

Hurt yourself, kill yourself, go dormant I genuinely don't care anymore I'm don't playing saviour so go ahead and do it I won't care haha.

(they didn't care either to me anyways. They started the whole thing. Joking on leaving and never talking anymore. So. I'll just do it myself anyways.)

this was an au i made for a friend's au take on the sonic from "we need to talk about tails"

Osc was probably the worst fandom I've ever been in. I'm not gonna lie 😭

vent // MANY potential triggers, warnings in tags

the past year and a half has been awful.

so many good things have happened and i’m so grateful, but the bad things are fucking BAD.

went NC with my sexual predator of a father, lost my best friend who i felt so safe around that my repressed CSA memories came back slightly (we had one misunderstanding and they ended the friendship nearly immediately), been dealing with aforementioned CSA repressed memories, and i found out that my IL’s have never liked me, they managed to fake it incredibly well for YEARS, and now they’re trying to essentially make us homeless (financial abuse).

all of this started in september of 2022. my hair has been falling out since it all started. my bpd symptoms are acting up again. i’m terrified my husband is going to cheat or leave, and even though i know it’s the bpd talking (he’s literally an angel), god does bpd make it feel so real. i’m either eating nothing for days or binging. my blood sugar keeps spiking and dropping from cortisol spikes. sleep is HELL. it’s been hell all my life, but it’s gotten so much worse. my psychosis symptoms are getting so fucking bad. i’m seeing and hearing things every moment of the day.

but i feel fucking terrible for needing to vent and not doing well. i feel like i’m not allowed to be upset about any of this because at least i’m in an area that isn’t being actively bombed. me, my family, and my people aren’t being genocided.

i don’t know how to keep it together. i really, really don’t. i do my chores everyday and i feel so goddamn grateful to be able to do them. but i process shit mentally when i clean. and i process when i’m not doing anything too. i cannot escape. i can’t escape the realization of being r*ped by my father. i can’t. i’m being fucking eaten alive yet i still feel the need to express gratitude.

i don’t want to do this anymore. but i don’t have a choice. i have to keep going.

A year after the Maligula Case, Razputin Aquato returns to Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp to give a special presentation. While out walking in the woods afterwards, he's surprised by the arrival of Nils Lutefisk, who has an unusual request for him.

It soon becomes clear that there's another reason why Nils acts the way they do, and it's far beyond anything Raz had imagined. Nonetheless, he does his best to support his ex-fellow camper through the beginning of their journey of self-discovery.

[the-great-donatello]

Shut up Slang, no one asked you. Go back to dying. it's what you're good at. -⭕

Don't say that to them.

[just-luxx]

Ykw guys I should talk about this

Tw: fake friends, bullying, swearing (i might swear in this), and crushes

Also vent warning and this post is long

So last (school) year another group of exfreinds was treating me like absolute shit so I began hanging around these other girls. As of mid September they began treating me like shit. One of them pressured my into talking to my crush while he had a fucking girlfriend. A few days ago I got super fed up and I told one of them I don't want to be friends anymore and she started victim blaming me, she said "what did I even do to you?" umm probably things like never letting me share my opinion, constantly going against my boundaries (such as telling me other kids want hugs even AFTER I told her I don't like hugging people), kicking me out of your lunch table, telling me not to stand near you, and letting your other friends bully me. I started hanging around my crush's friends because I was already kinda acquainted with them and most of them are my bandmates and instead of this bitch just not giving a shit she accused me of trying to get closer to my crush even though HE LITERALLY HAS A FUCKING GIRLFRIEND.

I'm trying to be less of a pushover and a people pleaser

And remember recovery is possible ❤️‍🩹

[poet-of-apollo]

[inky-goddess]

God this post has been living in my head rent free since I saw it. Do i try to reconnect with one of those friends? Do they even remember me? (vent under the cut)

The whole situation with the toxic friend I think caused at least a tiny portion of my online social anxiety. Because that friend was my first online friend. One of them at least. And then they just...turned on me so quickly.

I want to get better at talking to people online.

I want to make online friends on discord again.

But I'm so scared. I'm scared it'll happen again. I'm scared.

I join discord servers, but then i leave them after never talking in them because what if im just interrupting? What if I do end up making a friend but they turn on me like that one ex-friend?

I want to get better. I really do. but I'm so scared.

[mintglacier]

I recently got out of a super toxic friendship, where I still feel like it's my fault things turned out the way they did but everyone else I talk to about it says he was the main problem and I was simply retaliating against the things he'd say to me, but that's not the point of this.

That last post I reblogged reminded me how I never felt I could just be weird and myself with him. It'd always be "why are you so fucking cringe" or "what's wrong with you" and things of the like which in turn made me start to change myself to better suit HIM. And once I finally cut ties with him (well it had been done for awhile I think, but I just needed one last push to get any idea of having him in my life again to go away) and nestled into friendships with these other ppl...

They let me be weird. They let me be myself. They don't say mean or hurtful things in the name of a joke or treat me like a punching bag. And they enjoy me around ;w;

It feels so strange being accepted as I am, and I still feel I don't deserve it but it's just. Idk. It's hard to explain after you've been treated like shit for a year.

"I realised what they do is wrong but it might:

make them uncomfortable

we lose touch

if I tell them"

I beg of you. Do not hold back to tell them if it doesn't put you in danger. It's good to clear up things by communicating, not fighting. Everyone's boundaries are important. They might not realise what they're doing, so please talk to them.

If it puts you in danger, you're dealing with an abuser. Please talk to a trusted one. Don't be silent. This is a sign to take action

Please stay safe
