Can't stand my friends anymore

I think that I've had it.  I want new friends. I'll keep these as acquaintances, but I can't stand it anymore-the relentless negativity, the extreme drama, I am so exhausted and sick every time I hang out with them. I actually noticed that when I took a break from them for a while, I felt so light and relaxed and much better about everything...wow.  I felt actually slightly guilty for not missing them.


We had a zoom meeting this month for someone's birthday. It sucked beyond all sucking.  Can't even believe that you could call this a party.  I made the mistake of asking how my friend's new house that she purchased is.  It led into this endless tirade of everything that was wrong...it just went on and on and on.  There were these long, uncomfortable silences and no one seemed to know what to say.  All I could feel was resentment and anger when I got off the call, I think I picked up on the vibes.  


I don't like a lot of the people in my life.  I'm not really sure they are good for me.

I had a similar problem with Facebook friends. They annoyed the shit out of me. I am addicted to Facebook but that was getting to be a bad thing. I can't even go through the list of reasons they got on my last nerve because I will get aggravated. So I unfollowed a good dozen people. Like you said, it was a relief. It was so much more pleasant to scroll through and not get aggravated. I am glad that you have come to this conclusion and are ready to make new friends. That's self-care.

There is something about Facebook that can breed resentment and annoyance. I have a "friend" who posts sexy pics of herself daily! She's older and married and the men ogle after her, which is what, I imagine she is looking for. I groan each day when I see the pics. It's like "Another selfie:?!

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
