I think I'm genuinely just done making new friends. Like, I'm tired of letting people into my life only for them to leave without a word later, and use other people as messengers to reach out to me afterwards

What cowardice. If you care about me or something, tell it to my face instead of using someone else. It's literally the same shit my ex did years ago

I'm happy with the friends I already have. I don't need fake friendships that end after I've outlived my resourcefulness. I'm genuinely just not going to reach out to new people anymore
Because what's the point, right? If someone's not gonna take anything you say seriously, you shouldn't be friends with them. If they're not going to give you the time of day, why even try
It's a good thing I'm someone who knows how to let go of a friendship that's not going to work out. It's probably more healthy for both individuals at that point

This is a good opportunity to remind you folks to check on the people you love and care about. In both relationships and friendships, communication is very important
Of course I can't apply this advice to myself since I fucking suck at reaching out to people, but if you're someone I haven't talked to in a long time, and you're reading this, know that I don't hate you or whatever
