Gonna vent here a little bit. Mute this thread if you like, I don& #39;t mind. I just gotta scream into the void a bit.

Since September, I& #39;ve been dealing with the single worst interpersonal dispute between friends I& #39;ve ever dealt with in my entire life.

To say it& #39;s pushed me to the point of self harm is an understatement.

An unrelated arguement has left me with a once mutual friend who is no longer my friend. Over the course of time since then, I& #39;ve learned they& #39;re a manipulative abuser, but at the time I didn& #39;t.

Most of those friends still don& #39;t.

I& #39;m not going to name names. This isn& #39;t a callout post. That isn& #39;t the point of this thread.

I& #39;ve been growing steadily more estranged with those friends, partly because I& #39;m being actively worked against, partly because my composure is coming apart at the seams and I& #39;m pushing them away.

Every week, I spend less time with them and we say less to each other.
