I lost all my church friends. Also managed to lose the church, finally. Harder to get ex-communicated than youā€™d think. (I had to subscribe the Stake President to Hustler and have it delivered to the chapel he worked out of.)

So happy both are out of my life.

Only one, and she happens to have schizoaffective, like me!! We donā€™t hang out very often, though. Iā€™ve been meaning to text her. Weā€™ve been friends since 2nd grade (about age 7).

I have two left. Which one has visited me twice in the last couple years and another I just chat online with every couple months. Iā€™m living with my father and his workers. Iā€™m just not engaging in a conversation with them if I donā€™t have to.

Iā€™m more on isolating myself as much as possible.

I have none of them atm. I think Iā€™ll be able to rekindle my friendship with one of them. I do miss the good times with her. She is from Moldova. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

No. Their response to me developing schizophrenia, and me cutting off contact, basically showed me that they didnā€™t care about me, at all.

I only want real friends. They werenā€™t one.

He didnā€™t respect your wishes, so you got mad? Was most of your friendship with him like that?

Are other people like that, too?

53

What were your reasons for ending the friendship?

Are they still valid? Do you miss them, or are you just lonely?

54

Nope. Donā€™t want them either.

Money played a major role, and yeah my parents too felt that, I had given mutiple chances also informed my friend about it, no change.

He was my friend for 14 years.

Yes. I miss those days. Donā€™t wanna ruin those memory and have a bad friendship.

I got in touch with other friend who is like a cousin to me. But he is helping me out, but I feel he playing around like a bully. I know its childish,
Thats me.

I burned the old bridges I had when it turned out my old friends were conniving and talking bad about eachother, behaving poorly and generally being turds. I did it in a stupid way, that isnā€™t P.C. but I was struggling with my sexuality and it was an issue I needed to vent on and it is what it is. The point being I wanted out, and found a way out of being with those people.

That was before the diagnosis.

I have a couple of childhood friends who seem to be willing to interact with me, but I have come down so low that I donā€™t like to see them. It is too painful.

No. People act like Iā€™m a criminal, or they wish I was. They think being around normal people and normal situations cause so much stress you have biochemical issues and symptoms. It was a lot of vicious people.
