stop being friends.

[hyacinths]

idk a large part of me wants to stop being friends with everyone in my life. no one im friends with is a bad person or rude or anything, just me, and im tired of trying to be better around them all. i just want to stop being friends with anyone. too much work.

I personally always see it as being very tiring being around other people, I always prefer to be alone. I do not have any interest in having friends personally, it sounds like hard work and too much effort. Your feelings are understandable. I wish you the best.

I hear it's called Isolating oneself, a metaphorical example would be a cat leaving its kin and going to a quiet place to die once the cat knows time is running out, but that could be wrong/ Self Diagnosing

That makes sense especially if you are suicidal and can't talk to anyone about it. I think it's ok if you want to pull back from your friendships but I wouldn't recommend burning any bridges. You may want to have these people's support for one reason or another one day.

Pretty much

Those are just high demanding friends, completely isolating yourself will make you feel only worse. Talking to someone gives you serotonin, it is plain biology.
Making friends with someone less demanding will help or get a dog (i don't have a dog but i see many people would rather communicate with dogs than other humans.)

You sound super young, which means you have stupid impulses and you should think them through before fucking up real bad. If you aren't completely sure of CTB in the near future don't push people away, instead think about why you feel like you do.

I did the same thing. It is certainly not a healthy thing to do. To isolate entirely. But it is understandable. For me, spending time with normal happy people as like a holding up a mirror to myself and my own flaws. It's much more healthy to interact with other human beings. And it even feels good in someways. But at the end of the day, I would rather just hide. Requires less energy.

I need a few friends... it's very isolating without them.

This is not the best advice still. Generally being friends means giving. And it is hard work. When you choose less demanding friends you may come across some stupid and manipulative people, their influence is very dangerous. I know from my own experience. (this is partially why i am here) Best thing is to surround yourself with smart people but it is very hard to do.

my friends are good people who do their best to be there for me. i genuinely have no complaints in how they treat me. i just am struggling a lot right now and i just feel like my presence is fucking up their own lives for some reason.

I love this cat explanation! I reread it few times and I never thought of it that way.

For me it wasn't really a choice. I am 43, I lost all the friends in my life. I have nobody that writes me a little text, nobody that call me. All this is mostly my fault. I just do not know how to handle people. I do not understand them talking, I am a sort of social retard. I do not understand non-verbal clue and I know that if I start a friendship at some point I will fuck it up. Same with girl/women. I have no idea how to look attractive to them and honestly I have nothing to offer as well.

I can relate. It's like managing the minefield that's your suicidality and putting on a persona, which can be exhausting. Luckily, the few friends I have haven't noticed my transition to eternal darkness.
