that group is done. no amount of right combination of words can change their toxic attitude. the whole world is a place where you can practice acquiring friends over and over, sometimes getting rejected, and sometimes rejecting. don't forget about that last part. you have the right to reject these fake friends. and you must for your future self. do not stay with friends whose destination is so different from you. their destination is hell. a hell hole will open up on the ground and try to get them and you won't be able to save them even if you want to. more likely that they'll kick you down that hole to run away from hell. Erase them from your life. Find your tribe and make your heaven.
