What would you do in this situation

You’re realizing the people you thought cared about you only care about your accomplishments and don’t acknowledge you as a person. They are the only people you can depend on and you know if you fail they will start distancing themselves from you. You’re constantly gaslighted by their kindness and since they seem so genuine you find it hard to accept reality. Without them, you have nobody, but staying with them still hurts because deep down you know the truth.
Will you try and pretend like nothing has changed and live with the pressure and risk of getting hurt if you fail? Or would you distance yourself from them acknowledging the relationship meant nothing to them even if you’re alone again.

Just silly thoughts haha
