Losing friends.

Friends come and go.

 

I lost all mine too, do you feel it’s partially because of pmo? I sometimes I feel so anxious and depressed I can’t stand being around people

Hey, after recovery, you’ll find someone you’ll connect with and become friends with, but for now just worry about doing this and improving on yourself, don’t worry about it too much if you try and can’t make it work, it’s almost outta your (our) hands. So just gotta keep positive and keep going

 

Oh, I see, sounds like you’re just more focused on work more than anything else. Hey man, you gotta do what you gotta do, friends are nice but work allows you to eat so it’s all good.

But if your life allows for it, which it doesn’t seem like, a real life friend (a good one) is a good thing that everyone needs. But if you don’t have time for it, then you just have to work around it some how and come to terms with it. But if you can, just be friends with him, meet once a week or every two weeks, just to get your thoughts out, friends are a good thing like that

 

I hear ya @Wazzai, it hurts doesn’t it?

I’m going through a bunch of similar stuff, and I hope we both can make some friends that’ll be real and last.

 

I ain't lost my friends, but I've definitely gone into hiding. I've pulled away, faded away, gone into my own sort of hermitage. PMO is selfish, it pulls you inward. You focus on your self, your problems, your failures. You don't feel good enough for anyone, and definitely not your self. This affects every aspect of your social life. You just can't feign the same fake laugh or smile anymore. You can't deal with the little subtle nuissances that make people special; that shit ends up annoying you. Everything else, the good, the great- you don't pick up on, you don't notice; you're too busying focusing on yourself and the pain you're in. I've disconnected and pulled away from so many people. I can't imagine what they think of me these days, but do they even think of me? Probably not, that's how far removed I have become.

We can get better, though. That's why we're all here. One or two days aren't gonna make a difference, but 1/4 a yr, 1/2 a year, those self conditioning patterns and habits will open us back up, I'm sure of it. We will focus less on ourselves and open our hearts and minds back up to the world. There's so many wonderful things to think about and enjoy, let's get to a point in our lives where we can appreciate all the rich wonders of the world rather than focusing on all our pain and shortcomings.
