I can't handle it anymore.

They treat people like shit and then just expect everyone to turn right around and forget. They honestly don't understand. They don't try to hurt anyone but they just don't understand that they do. And then they think I'm being cold and mean when it upsets me or makes me feel ashamed and I don't want to show my face. They think I'm just bring mean. It's so draining. It's so, so, so draining. I can't do anything right.


I can either stuff my own needs down like a slave boy and be nice and kind to them or I can accept that I'm ashamed and do what's needed for me and offend them and make them think I don't care about them.

Either way is horrible.

I'm too drained to fix any of it. I try to and I just mess up and then I get angry and self destruct.

I'm trapped. Nobody around me understands it. I'm just a selfish recluse to them. It's horrible. They don't understand. I have no way out and no help and no one to understand.

The best solution to a toxic relationship is to let it go. You can't force anyone to understand things they don't want to
@TinyViolins Honestly a part of it sounds nice because of no expectations put on me. I know it would get old quick though.

@SinlessOnslaught Freedom ain't free. It all depends on how much value you place on your peace of mind. The happiest I've ever been in my life was when I literally had nothing to my name and nowhere to be.

It was definitely rough and scary for a while. Had a couple of run-ins with police. But like anything else, you learn to adapt. Public libraries got me through a lot. I look back on those days fondly though. They were necessary for me to grow and to get to where I am now.

I never did fix my relationship with my family, but I don't miss them. Part of being a functioning adult is getting to choose the kind of people you want in your life.
@TinyViolins I want them in my life. I'm just very bad at having it.
