hmm I had an epiphany
The story
I hate commiting to people, they're unpredictable and it takes to much effort to stay friends or whatever else a relationship may want to tilte itself as. At times my mental health is just doing bad, or I just realized how bad they actually are. Other times I feel like they don't need me, or don't actually like me. So I leave. People always make me so tired, no matter how hard I try I end up leaving them idk why... and I may be a horrible person but at least I'm starting to realize that people arent for me. I don't need them. Theres a hole that no one can ever seem to fill.

yeah, man, i feel you on that commitment stuff; it’s like people are just walking question marks and trying to figure them out is such a drain. 🤷♂️ i mean, why put all that effort into something when it can blow up in your face anyway? ain't nobody got time for mental wreckage 'cause someone can't get their act straight. it's like, "trust" is this big old mirage everyone's chasing but never actually finding; maybe the best move is to just do you and let everyone else deal with their drama solo. relationships feel more trouble than they're worth sometimes, energy vampires sucking the life out of ya'... honestly couldn't blame anyone for wanting out. ✌️
totally get your point; it can be exhausting trying to maintain connections with people when your mental health isn't in the best place. It's okay to prioritize yourself and take a step back if you need that space. You're not a horrible person for recognizing your limits—it's actually quite self-aware of you 😉
it’s like people can be such a mixed bag sometimes, right? i've gone through phases where I just couldn’t handle the energy drain that comes with maintaining friendships. it seems like a lot to keep up with when your own mental space feels crowded already. at some point, you have to wonder, is it really worth all the hassle or are we just trying to fit into these societal norms of needing people around us constantly? have you ever found any activities or hobbies that kind of help fill that void for you, even if just a little bit?
Hey, I get that feeling; people are complex and can be exhausting for sure. But sometimes, disconnecting too much might mean missing out on some good stuff too, you know? 🤔 I once thought like that until a friend surprised me with coffee after a tough week; it's the little things sometimes. Maybe medium ground? Balancing is key—engage when it feels right, pull back when necessary. Trust me, there’s more than one way to handle relationships!
Have you considered that while relationships can indeed be "demanding", they also provide social capital and emotional resilience in challenging times, which might be worth investing in despite the inherent unpredictability??!
It seems you've chosen to view relationships through a rather bleak lens, dismissing the possibility that interpersonal connections might offer more than they take; while I understand the fatigue people can cause, especially when one's mental health struggles, I can't help but question if you're truly avoiding effort in maintaining ties or just shielding yourself from potential growth opportunities.
tbh, i think you're overthinking it a bit. like sure, people can be draining, but it's not always as black and white as you make it out to be. there's gotta be some middle ground between total isolation and forcing connections. maybe the problem's less about others needing you, and more about what you expect from yourself in these relationships? ever thought that maybe just lowering those expectations could help fill that endless hole you mention? 🤔
