pondering

guys i fear i dont really know if i actually like my friends or not. i love them and we’ve been a group since sophmore year but theyre so. IDK?? LAME?? 

not lame as in like “uhm im too cool to hang out with these ppl..☝️🤓” just lame like. they dont want to do anything. like ever. and whenever we all talk the only conversations we have are about relationships or whatever fictional characters they wanna bang 😭 

we dont rlly have aligning beliefs either. whenever anything remotely related to world events (like the fucking massacres happening rn) gets brought up theyre just. SO IGNORANT?? it makes me annoyed because holy fuck what do you mean “uhm i dont care” and “its annoying seeing people post abt it” LIKE OH MY GOD?? i cant have any actual thoughtful conversations with them beyond a certain point cuz they dont care, refuse to understand / think abt it, or turn it into a joke.

AND LIKE I GET IT?? NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO HAVE THOSE ALL THE TIME BUT its kinda aggravating at a point. i dont want this to sound like i hate them or anything cuz i dont. and im not writing this to be like “oh im just SO SMART” i just need to get this OUTTA MY HEAD ☹️ i voice my dissatisfaction with it and just get ignored or they just look at me with the most horrid blank stares you could imagine.

 multiple occasions i’ve felt like shit cuz of things they’ve done /said but i cant even separate now cuz ill be fucking lonely 😭😭 and uhm contrary to what ppl say being alone is actually very sucky!! >_<

sowy its long guys hashtag im in mental anguish

Honestly. Everyone is so dry now but tbh I’m becoming dry myself because I deadass NEVER know what to say. And when I do, they like… Respond n stuff but don’t contribute much to the conversation.

That's tough. You really shouldn't force your friends to talk about these things, especially in a casual setting, because these topics need a place and time to be talked about.

Today we are constantly bombarded with information and some people just want to switch off and focus on their own lives.

I'm not sure what massacres you're talking about, but there are conflicts everywhere, problems that need to be solved but don't get much attention because of the way certain business practices are made.

And it's not lame. I've known someone since I was born, and I cherish that guy with fond memories.

I understand the frustration, but if you feel that your friends are lacking in certain aspects, please, COMMUNICATE with them. They're not mind readers, and if you're honest about your feelings, I'm sure they'll understand, even if you don't want to be with them anymore.

ur right, but like ive tried ??? to bring things up?? 99% of the time it just turns into one of them just trying to one-up me or smth by mentioning something ive done wrong ( it was being late to a hangout to pick up our friend god forbid!!!)

also abt the serious topic thing, im aware that those things have a time\place and i dont actively force the topics on them. the times ive weighed in on it they were discussing it themselves and were making comments on it that were -frankly- pretty fucking stupid and ignorant. i avoid the topics now and actively steer my friends AWAY from it cause i know im going to be disappointed in their comments T_T

like its one thing to just not talk about things, i wouldnt care if we just never brought it up. its another when they’re yapping abt how awareness is stupid, that charities are pointless and that we shouldnt care because its across the world. like…idk. that just rubs me the wrong way personally. they also tend to find a way to bring up the fact that im diagnosed with a certain illness to be like “of course YOU would say that. its the voices huh” like WHAAAT ?? PARDON??

I see. So your friends are a little bit like firecrackers, too. I get it. XD

I can understand why they say that, because there are a lot of scam charities and some with not so good intentions that don't really help at all. And I know that sometimes it's best not to get involved in someone else's business because it can make things worse.

And the way things are these days, everything feels more and more paranoid.

I would tell your friends to start by taking care of their own community, like animal shelters, or even food banks, or just...idk...keeping the streets clean. That is my best advice to others.

But your friends being mean to you, well, that sounds like unfair demands and expectations and even negative projection on their part.

Just make sure you talk to them about these issues that are affecting you. The worst thing that can happen is that they stop wanting to be your friend. But, as they say here: It's better to be alone than to have bad company.
