i just lost my best friend of 5 years my confidant who knows my darkest secrets i know people would think its silly if i took off right now ran into the woods screaming crying and throwing up but people would begin to understand if it was a romance 😭😭😭
Most people seem to be obsessed with sex, and sex is the main difference between a friendship and a romantic relationship, so yeah they can’t understand why people care so much about losing someone they weren’t having sex with.
Yes. Multiple times, a long time ago. I’m going to tell you something you won’t appreciate, perhaps loathe me for it, and maybe in a few decades, assuming we’re all still here (or you, I may not be): you either learn to process and deal with your feelings, or they will certainly process and deal with you. And it’s not easy, fun, or pretty, most of the time. It is worth it.
No, and that may not be the best thing. The ‘Out of Sight, Out of Mind’ Trap in ADHD Friendships
I have so many best friends I haven’t talked to or interacted with for years, if I’m not talking to someone at least weekly they essentially don’t exist in my conscious perception😭
I’m sorry for your loss. People do seem to underestimate friendship. I think your romantic partner should be someone who fills that same space your friend did. Though most people assume that is the case when it really is not the standard.
Feelings can be torturous. Really feeling that now. (In terms of a romantic “relationship” I was in for a sec. I wish I could just let go, but I know I’m gonna keep holding onto that for dear life and it will hurt me emotionally). I’ve got difficulties with platonic feelings (not having real friends for most of your life really screws up how you process platonic feelings.) But losing any sort of long-term relationship (coupled with RSD) is bound to be painful.
Wish I could give you real hugs comrade. But digital ones will have to suffice.
