Not anymore. There's only so many times people are willing to look past your... quirks. I don't blame them though.

I thought I did, but unfortunately no. It was pretty world shattering. I guess I know to be more careful now at least.

Only one... The lady that married me.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

OMG same.

Perhaps... We aren't as alone as we thought...

Or we both found ladies that think we're "dark and mysterious". Which wears out after a year or two and then they're just like, "eh, he could be worse".

Or we're just supremely lucky to have found true mutual companionship and weren't dumb enough to screw it up. (as I'm certain is my case)

I thinks it's probably a little all of the above!

Friends? Lmao. 0

Instead,

I have my own mother debating on whether or not to cut me off of inheritance because I have depression and "it would be a waste" to give anything to a sick and useless person like me. 😢

I've been wanting to text my best friends for weeks before I had the energy to do so and they did before I could. Felt really loved in that moment.

[–] rautapekoni@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

Stick with me? No.

Sorry, but no. I've met people like that, and some of them use that as an excuse to be rude.
