I don’t hate people. And I don’t necessarily hate friends. I think due to making the WRONG types of friends when I was younger and now not having any of them around to support me the way I always supported them has made me bitter? I gave my time and support because I wanted to. Not because I wanted anything in return, but when they say “I’m here for you, whenever you need me”, you tend to want to believe them. I getting older now. And I do not have the energy to try and ignite another possible one way friendship yet again. But then there lies the dilemma that I do get lonely. It’s a never ending cycle lol
