fake friends, pity parties. recently ive been feeling like my closest friend is mostly just been throwing me a pity party, im getting these feelings by things he says here and there, changing plans, sometimes avoiding even after plans are made etc... i dont want people to feel pity for me, im out here trying to change, get over social anxiety and shit, this just makes me feel shitty. and maybe this seems hypocritical on my part, but i also dont want friends who stutter. because i want to be normal, and im working towards that with full force, i dont want to be grouped in to a pile of rejects, and my closest friend feeling pity towards me only makes that feeling worse anyone in my position? what did you do to get over it?
