Why do people come back when lonely?

I had a friend (21F) and we were really close at one point. Things went downhill when she got a boyfriend and, out of nowhere, told me I was “nothing compared to him,” even dragging in stuff like my height. That was enough for me to step back, so I stopped talking to her.

A while later, she called me crying, saying she missed me a lot. I forgave her, and things went back to normal. She’d share everything with me, and I’d listen.

Then one day, I was having a genuinely bad time in college and opened up to her. She brushed it off and instead started arguing with me. That honestly hurt more than anything else. I ghosted her again.

She came back apologizing, saying she was going through a lot of fights with her boyfriend. I still supported her because that’s just how I am, but internally I was done.

Now I don’t feel anything—no anger, no attachment. I don’t even see her as a friend anymore. I never had any romantic feelings for her, but I also don’t have the energy to keep someone in my life who only shows up when it suits them.

At this point, I just want to quietly walk away for good.

Am I wrong for feeling this way? Is it okay to just cut someone off like this without any confrontation, or should I say something before ending it for good?

Let's start casual convo and see where it goes

​

Girls only

Ever just want to start a random conversation and see where it goes? No agenda, no pressure—just vibes. I feel like we don’t do that enough anymore.

So here I am: what’s something small that made your day recently? Could be anything—good food, a random compliment, a song you forgot existed. Let’s just talk and see where this thread ends up. Maybe it goes nowhere, maybe it turns into something unexpectedly great. Either way, I’m here for it. So…what’s on your mind today?

I'm a 22 years old dude btw.

Finding peace in solitude

​

Even when I’m surrounded by people, I often feel alone. Being in a group doesn’t stop the sense of being left out.

Over time, I’ve limited my interactions to just family and a few close people. Most of my focus now goes into college work and coding, and in that space, I feel a sense of satisfaction.

I once wanted a relationship and had someone in my life, but the pain from that experience changed me deeply. Now, I don’t want any connection with women—neither friendship nor partnership. I’ve let go of the idea of having a partner altogether.

Instead, I’ve accepted solitude and immersed myself in my hobbies. Life has become quieter, simpler, and more peaceful.

I’ve stopped reaching out. I don’t answer calls anymore.

And in this stillness, life feels calm.
