Just heard another person I thought I used to be friends with saying stuff about me again.

Well I'm running pretty low on people who I'd consider friends now. I went from 4 to 2 in the past 2 weeks. I ended up deciding not to go and visit an event where someone I thought I used to be friends with would be today, however I was still able to watch a stream of it since it was a gaming event. I couldn't quite hear everything they said because their voice was being picked up from a commentator's mic when they were near by. I did hear them mention how I said hi to them a week ago and told them why I'd been gone from my university for 3 semesters. They sounded really confused as to why I'd do that or be talking to them at all, and they said they, "Just had to wait it out." when I talked to them. When I talked to them it couldn't have been over a 5 minutes, I think they were less annoyed by how long I spoke and more that I would talk to them at all. I'm a bit worried I'll find out one of the other people I think I'm friends with doesn't even like me anymore. I'm not really in a position right now where I can spend much time to make new friends so my life is starting to feel like a dead end.

Do you have social anxiety? I'm probably a little older than you and I can assure you that after a certain point having friends or not doesn't mean much. What other people think about me means absolutely nothing to me for at least 10 years now and I can remember being devastated about losing friends or worrying about what other people thought when I was very young. I've learned nobody is thinking about you at all, so don't worry about that,, people are largely focused on themselves, at least half of them are stupid, they're unstable, nearly always missing the full picture and they're often not even honorable. It's pointless to care about their opinions at all. I don't say this in a misanthropic way, just that it's true. You could do the most embarrassing thing you can imagine in front of a group of strangers and they'll haven nearly forgotten about it and you in an hour.

I'm so sorry. That was pretty shitty of them, they showed you that you don't need them in your life. I have like zero friends at the moment so I can relate, you're not alone.

I am sorry that you had to deal with people like that, overall I cannot stand people. People can be cruel and can make our lives much worse. I choose to stay away from them personally. I wish you the best

Sounds like that piece of shit wasn't ever your friend, I'm really sorry.
