Question about past and expired friendships being re-ignited

I am wondering what to do.

Since being a Landscaper again, I have been back in my hometown more as I have no commute as such, as I used to work an hours drive away and was never around.

This has resulted in me ‘bumping into’ friends of times past.

Not all, but some are into drugs. I had this one guy keep telling me about his drink driving, taking loads of valium and doing £30k’s worth of cocaine in a year.

In the last month, I have been harassed with calls and texts, and I don’t want to just blank these people, as they have potential to be dangerous.

What can I do about this?

I have Autism, so I am ■■■■ at handling these things, and could really do with some impartial views on my options

thanks

I can sympathize more than I can help. I would work through a third party to find out which of them you would rather not associate with and just politely tell those people you have other plans.

If they are druggies then I would avoid them.

I dumped an old friend because he got into the drug scene when he moved to California.

Last time I heard he became a Heroin addict.

But I think he quit.

I think I posted about this before - but it has happened a few more times, and they’re cornering me at work.

Today I got a call asking me to ride motocross bikes, but they’ll all be taking drugs

I am just not into that anymore and would rather be left well alone in my social isolation than deal with these people.

My family is all I want for contact, and mental health services

Trouble is they’re all connected.

I have not hanged out with them for nearly 8 years, and they expect to continue like nothing happened

Me too.

It sounds more like a gang than a bunch of friends. Maybe a church friend or one in mental health.

Everybody knows each other. I have been exploited before badly by people who pretended to be my friend.

Drugs were a real problem for me growing up, and the gang violence was really bad.

I am glad to be free of it.

In all honesty, I’d rather have SZ than deal with the stuff I did before onset
