Discussion Emotional instability and friends - #1

[Judah]

Do you feel that you are mentally and emotional unstable to the point that your relationships with your friends are very volatile or you have no stability in them?

 

[Sleeper System]

My friends don't know anything about what's going on with me.
I can't bring myself to be that vulnerable with them or anyone I know.
I'm only unstable internally. I don't show what's going on outwardly.

My old friends text me occassionally but I take like 3 months to respond.
Everything seems to be going well in their lives and everything is falling apart in mine so I don't want to bring the mood down.
I haven't really seen a "friend" in real life in the last 18 months though

It is difficult for me to be internally unstable because I always tend to change my way of acting.
So it's easy for others to notice that something is happening.

My old friends text me occassionally but I take like 3 months to respond.

Sometimes I'm like that, even with people very close to me.

I bottle it up. I opened up to my friend years ago about trying to ctb and she said "why would you do that?" So I said I didn't know. That's how the conversation ended and it was never brought up again. Lost contact as she moved for college.

People don't know how to respond to these things. I won't do that ever again.

definitely yes... in my case maintaining a stable relationship of friendship or any kind is impossible for me because of how unstable I am... I don't want to be a bother to anyone so I voluntarily walk away.

my friends used to not know, but recently I've been completely unsociable. I can't blame anybody. I used to be endearing mean, now I'm just mean. I'm not even angry I'm just unstable, disconnected from my humanity, and cruel.

 

[Sleeper System]

I don't really see my friends often but we text every day. So maybe that's my way of dealing with it.
I'm sure that If I had to see them everyday and actually hang out then they'd know somethings up.
I keep a tiny circle of friends and i've always been that way. Also I feel like the third wheel alot.

I manage what other people see of my mood. For the most part though it's difficult for me to maintain friendships as I shut myself away when depressed. I haven't had many volatile relationships since I was a teen thankfully.

 

[Hardcore_Henry]

my friends don't really know about what im going through, id rather not burden them. i feel like i do a pretty good job at hiding it.

 

[Celerity]

Nah, if anybody has a problem with me, they'll probably ghost like they have in the past. Not sure if I could call that 'volatile' or not.

Nobody knows about how I feel but because I feel like I do, it not only impacts relationships negatively but also makes it difficult for me to form new relationships.
