Im struggling to get over a problematic friend

I don't want to go into details. But I believe she gained what she needed from me. It sucks cause I really liked her. The friendship wasn't all bad but shes a very manipulative person . Sometimes I really miss her and other times thinking about her makes me very angry as ive figured her out .

I swear the most unstable families and couples say that having kids was the best thing they ever did

Its just so dumb, thats when you knowthat theyre in denial.. theyre always end up being the worst parents too . I was one of those kids growjng up. I can't stand delusional parents .. like get a hobby and dont have kids , not even accidentally.

Why does bad things happen to good people

Like people who are genuinely very loving, empathetic or understanding.

Good people get backstabbed all the time and remain good people. I dont mean performative good people. And why do bad people who have everything get jealous of good people very easily?

How does polyamory work if someone has kids ?

I recently got freaked out of a friendship that was almost a poly relationship.. she was soon to be married and she had a young child and I was involved when their child was born. My friend wanted me and her partner to get to know each other but she ruined it I believe. Im a lesbian and I only like women , I believe this was very understood. I wasn't trying to be judgemental of her family life , but I believe that her and her partner was in a very fast settle down transactional relationship.

Reasons why I got freaked out:

  1. Her kids questioning where my partner is whilst they have a father and my friend is the wife

  2. I wasn't fond of her partner

  3. His family (inlaws) hates her

  4. She was too honest about her partner negatively (not judging, it was a possible cuck fetish)

  5. Whatever was going on between us wasn't very clear and there was a hidden plan that I didn't know about

For my safety I was observing how I could have a part in her life without being connected too much with her family. I cared about her kids though .

Cause I didn't trust there was a fair balance I backed out , though I loved my friend dearly ..

Ive known so many people over the years but I avoid almost everyone i know .

Im introverted. But for the last ten years ive realised theres a pattern with my social life. I know a lot of random people from different places and of all backgrounds . I feel guilty when I see someone i know but want to hide even if the experience was positive. I also dont know how to introduce friends or tell people how I met people . I have too much of a complicated life and think being rogue isn't normal anymore . Im also an outsider in town and I grew up with abuse so I ran away .

How do you cope with sexual shame as a lesbian ?

This is a genuine question.

A lot of women experience sexual shame generally.

Sexual paranoia is a very real thing too.

Ive slept with 2 very different women sexually . One was hyper sexual and my ex was very sexually insecure and used to blame me for it. Im dominant but honestly I like to switch.

I thought i was sexually confident until my persecption of relationships had changed . My opinion even the lgbtq community is very shallow when it comes to sex . I would say that im naturally romantic.. I haven't been with anyone for 2 years. I had a crush who liked me also and I would talk openly about relationships with her , but not about sex from my personal experiences.

Im sensitive . I always think about i want a woman to feel good if I got with her . And overthijnk about the society standards of sex .. generally not nice for all women .

My crush , who I dont talk to now was always sexually hinting flirt, she knew I was the sensitive type, I liked the idea of having sex with her but I was very expressive in other ways . I think some of it is being intimidated by my love interest , as I should be .

I think its also a bit off putting when some people are sexually forward. I don't know how to take sexual and flirty behaviour from most women to be fair..

I think im also just burnt out from the expectations of dating life ..

A while ago I auto reacted to my ex friends manipulative behaviour

I had a nervous breakdown at her house but I was trying to keep it together . It was over a drama that I wasn't involved in but she was trying to get backup from her friends . I was her very close friend and I think she used me . The friendship was genuine . But she had a immature side that was very manipulative. She Always wanted me to do things I didn't want to be involved in even if it was wholesome.. she never had a serious talk with me just expected cause we were friends .. she had no boundaries..

I didn't want to react but Im glad I did.. i dont know if it was trauma related but something just switched in me.

Im starting to think my mental health issues has made kinda out of touch with the world but understanding at the same time

I dont know if its have a personality disorder but i know i have chronic depression. Ive generally grown up living in my own head and observing the world. Ive never fitted in and I also have autism.. ive processed life through my very personal lense and ive been right about a lot of things . Suffering from trauma has made me a social outcast , but ive grown up realising that nobody is perfect .. ive been taught to hate myself and ive reflected that throughout life . As ive got older and watching people younger than me adapt to the world or people accept me a bit more makes me feel ive been judging people a bit too much.. I mean coming from abuse ans attracting the wrong kind of people have made me feel this way . I do take a shine to a few people but I also been avoidant and hesitant cause of the way life has treated me .. im not a completely negative person, when im confident im very positive, but when i feel put down im negative.

Am I bad person if I want to cut off my friend simply for being immature and less socially adaptive than me?

I mean she is socially adaptative. I dont think she recognises that we clash a lot . Ive known her for a while and She thinks im always available . We're in our late 20s early 30s .. she doesn't really do much or has interests in my life, infact knows nothing about me , she just thinks she does .. without sounding rude due to my life problems and mental health issues I met her at a class ans we got stuck ever since and shes not changed . For one she still complains about people she knew In high-school , whilst I would complain about people in my daily life . Shes not experienced things that I have and when I tell her about an issue she makes jokes about my problems whether its me going through relationship problems or a loved one dying .. ive ignored this person for 2 weeks ans shes not really noticed and she still sends me reels constantly. she doesn't work and she has no responsibilities . Im lately annoyed cause I had a fallen out with another friend that was more like a romantic interest, my other friend doesn't understand that im going through serious emotions and she ridicules me . She doesn't work , she doesn't date, she lives freely with parents and complains a lot . Shes been unemployed for 5 years . I notice she does wind other people up including her family and she doesn't understand that she can be the problem, simply by being childish. I hate that im just tolerating her and i need to move on but im finding it hard.

I think i got myself stuck with her cause of my vulnerability and I tend to just make friends by people pleasing and tolerating .. ive got more confident to try to meet like minded people . Its not that I dislike these people but I think sometimes we get too comfortable.

This friend also had a pet die and she was very upset by it and I validated her emotions . I mean I would get upset when my pets die. But she acts like that should stop her from living daily life .. she made jokes at me when my dad died

I think she think shes struggling in life but shes living very easy. I have a traumatic life so I have to be resilient and build .. some people like her dont try or dont understand what they have .. I get that people understand what struggle is ans we all struggle differently . She thinks that she can ask me for help all the time or complain to me all the time especially about immature things like her parents want her to get a job.

ive discovered that when I actually like someone im not obsessed with them.

Its weird cause ive been obsessed with my love interests in the past . Like even after a fall out I used to be like "shes gonna come back to me, it just takes time" . I used to be so delusional.

I told the last person I really liked that I had to leave cause it wasn't working out . She had other things going on in her life . It hurts but I care about her THAT much . Yeah I still overthink but ive learnt to accept it.

I think connections are either very deep or very shallow.

Has an old friend ever got back in contact with you after not talking cause of a disagreement?

Ive done it myself when I was younger and it didn't end well. I had a friend that was older than me by like 10 years and I felt that she was holding me back . I contacted back to apologise about and she wasn't nice to me .. I was in my early 20s at the time, so I thought it was appropriate to go find friends my own age ...

Friends that do me wrong legit go silent and I have no desire to reach out to them. Silence is their guilt I believe.
