TW: Bullying, Manipulation
So basically I have friends who'd make fun of me for my interests and belittle me for them. I started changing completely and tried to fit in. I kept my interests a secret and told no one, because I had went through humiliation by my relatives and developed trauma from it. I tried my best, but I just got manipulated by them. They said they'd kill themselves if I left or start a fight with me if I left. I stayed and my emotional state had gotten worse and I was basically living horribly because all they wanted me for was support and to feel better about themselves. Yesterday I cut of everyone who made me not myself and just made me feel horrible about myself.. Did I do the right thing?
yeah, you need to drop those toxic people. using suicide to guilt trip someone is disgusting. way back, i used to also have a pretty toxic circle of friends, it was one of the wost periods for my emotional state, but i moved away and haven't been in contact with them since, i am much happier now. reply
There is no easy answer but I would say yes.
People like this aren't good for you and your mental health. Manipulation is a no go. It is better to get out of manipulation.
I hope it will be better for you now. Don't let anyone keep you down. reply
