I was looking forward to this one and it delivered and then some.
Anybody who resonates with what you write probably has experienced almost all of these, it's a byproduct of living a certain way...doesn't make it any less annoying.
Some contacts are getting deleted after this, I'll tell you that. Great stuff
Cool read, spot on, i would say learn to run solo, be happy alone, need no one. It helps give a perspective that never lets you down when it comes to others and their intentions, which are in the main selfish and nothing but a drain on your time.
I noticed, Day, we are like the ying yang of lone wolves. It looks like you were raised in high society but got plucked out of into the prison's world. Probably a bit naive but learned shrewdness, learning about human behavior, depth, and psychology they don't teach you in schools, and becoming streetwise to round off your character.
I was born and raised at the beach in Santa Monica when it was known as the "ghetto by the sea." Swimming and taking waves in the ocean next to a burnt-out, dilapidated, skeleton of a pier with dangerous broken pilons sticking out of the water. Ran with a local Dog Town crew that did petty crimes, had a mafia-like attitude about OUR waves and territorial on our beach, and being poor in Santa Monica, we found relief by having sex with our local hot beach betties. Then I got plucked out of that culture into higher learning in college and got a job working at an underground celebrity nightclub in Santa Monica after the yuppies took over the town (so I can pay for my higher learning all by myself with no help), mingling with A-listed celebrities in both the movie and music industries (had a few experiences with famous celebrities with their wives inviting me into their home after the nightclub closed, showing me their family's photo albums and telling me how they first fell in love with each other), hanging out with writers and artists that had the smell of death about them yet, rich celebrities bought their work and told them about our nightclub... going to high society parties. Got so refined, my Dog Pack in Santa Monica looked crude by comparison but still kept my loyalty with them.
As if we can both lone wolf in all social stratospheres and feel like we belong. I can party in Beverly Hills and feel comfortable and engaging, and I can hang out with my punk rocker friends at the beach parties.
Seems we both have the same issues in our different cultures with narcissistic people backstabbing us... until we wised up to the game.
Narcissists have a broken empathy cog in their brain, they are emotional cowards and spiritually bankrupt. They are essentially just androids pretending to have emotions. They learned at a young age in school to mimic emotions from their peers otherwise the other young kids would shun the narcissist. They gotten really good at being "bad" actors following a script.
"Loyalty" is an emotion.
Narcissists thinks they are at the center of the universe, in actuality, they are at the inner most bottom circle of Dante's hell.
The MOOCH, aka parasite. He’s your friend as long as you’re paying his way, getting him invited to parties, introducing him friends, etc. But it’s always a one-way street.
If I may add to this: People that claim to try and tell you the truth, but it's so laden with smart ass remarks that you can never tell what they're saying.
In other words, they claim you did/said something wrong, but they hide it behind absurd and unnecessary sarcasm.
Isn’t #23 just the other side of the coin of guy #21? Maybe he won’t get a beer because he’s setting a boundary one time (I need to not be tired tomorrow). So if you get mad at 21 you’re actually being a 23.
Very well written as usual. #26 could be the friend that treats you as a placeholder. You’re best friends until someone he likes better is around and then you’re completely ignored. Most of my past “friendship” issues center around 1 and 11.
“Betrayal needs proximity”. Hmmm … very smart words.

Red flag #1 is when your friends are AI-generated
