one of my friends totally dropped me Anonymous 120770[Reply]
as the title says, one of my friends texted me last friday, and decided that we couldn’t be friends anymore. he said that our friendship was “too intense” and he couldn’t handle it for his mental health. this came out of nowhere, and he hadn’t expressed discomfort any time in the past about our friendship and what we talked about. we’ve only known each other since november but we’ve gotten really close in that time, and tell each other about our mental health, personal, and family struggles. i’m not mad that he did this, if anything im glad he’s prioritizing his mental health. but, it just really fucking sucks that he just,,, decided we can’t be friends anymore. i don’t even know if this is permanent. from the way he spoke, i don’t think it is, but i have no clue when he’ll be stable enough for us to be friends again.
on one hand, he’s kind of right? like, our friendship was a bit mentally draining for the both of us. but on the other hand i really miss him. i miss talking to him from when i woke up to when i went to bed. i miss seeing funny videos and sending them to him. i miss talking to him about literally nothing and everything. i think it’s worse because he still like, looks at my ig stories. he doesn’t hate me, we just can’t be friends for the time being.

>>120911meet someone who is equally as mentally ill as you, talk from literally when you wake up to when you go to bed, develop complicated feelings for him, "confess" but make it clear that you're not sure if you actually like him (or men at all), tell each other your worst secrets, profit

op here again bumping this thread!! it's been a while since this all happened, but i talked to him a couple weeks ago and i got some form of closure. he basically told me that we got too close, and that he was telling me things about him that he shouldn't, as well as thinking that we were too dependent on each other.
i'm doing better now! i still feel sad about our friendship not working out (especially since i couldn't do anything about it) but i'm not as worried. i just hope he's doing okay. he's a good guy, even if he doesn't always feel like it. sometimes i come across a tweet or tiktok and i'm like "lol toby would like this" and then i remember. oh yeah. can't send it to him because i have him blocked on instagram and imessage. i'm in therapy now (thank god) and hopefully i'll start changing for the better. :)
