#1 my 33 year friend has not been a 'friend in a long, long time.' i don't trust him and me making 40-60 mile round trips to his place for 22 years is not putting much effort into our friendship. he never once drove the same distance to see my band play in clubs on 6th street. in 33 years he has not seen me play live. he was my friend, he is not my friend now. he hasn't shown me one reason to respect his lying *ss in 6 years. can't lose what i never had. fact is, i don't like his *ss anymore..he is a user, a racist and he is always right. especially at things he knows nothing about. ie, my treatments of bipolar and my blog. he is a right wing zealot. he changed and does not know sh*t.
I won't go into the whole passive aggressive...or just aggressive this emotional little person he has always been. said you aren't a 'writer.' but for sh*ts and grins i sent him 30 peoples compliments on my writing. i never said i was a professional writer but i write my *ss off. however, i found a FB post of his 2 years ago where he said "phil is a writer." kinda embarrassing huh? now, all i am is a diarist because i only write my blog about me. sorry, i sent him over 50 posts that had nothing to do with me. would anyone like to venture a guess if he read that email?#2 another 'friend' has yelled at me on several occasions because that friend got sick of me. good advice? mostly. if i didn't do it? SCREAMM. I do not like being around people trying to control me with their uncontrollable temper. this friend will probably read this. so? i will never stop loving this friend and i admit, she has tried. but one temper outburst is one too many for me. i do not like anyone that can't control their temper. at least, i don't want to hang around for next time.
#3 friend was misdiagnosed with ADD and depressed as hell. IIIII diagnosed him bpII. doctor said yep(f*ck*ng idiot)bpII. He is happy now and chasing one spiritual guru after another like he always has(flake me thinks)get's angry at me because i didn't listen to his smarmy sickening songs. i asked, would you like me to hear your garbage or save your life? take your pick popsicle toes.
i am above all, an introvert. i need a friend or two but i can also make it all by myself, i like it. i have tried to apologize for my part as ringmaster in this circus but then i thought, do you even like these people? #2, i guess, if there aren't temper tantrums. (if someone wants to scream at me then it's their sh*t, not mine.)
1 and 3 can take a hike. they are both users.

As time goes on, so do friends. Not too many people maintain lifelong friendships. Plenty in works of fiction. And how boring if we ourselves didn't change. I'm not saying friendships are disposable, but rather are dynamic.
We all could use some more friends. I have to force myself out of the house, so that makes it hard. But I'm finding ways to do it that feel safe.
And at the end of the day, I don't think anyone tallies the number of friends you have and decide whether you were a success or not.
