Adviced needed: Distancing myself

| Growing up, I was a loner. Because of so, I adapted to be emotionally independent, exception of close family.

In recent years I was lucky to gain friends, both online and irl. But I noticed a common problem. Whenever I get roped up into drama between friends, or another problem breaks out within my family - I become emotionally distant. I shut down, I end up basically ghosting people and just being by myself. But then I feel guilty about getting back in contact.


| The cycle just ends up repeating itself. I do my best to be a good friend. But when that breaking point hits, I just can't stand being around anyone. I get roped commonly into the problems of everyone around me, but I never have a chance to actually tackle my own. But then when I try staying out of the drama between my friends, I get guilted into joining in.


| Same op except I have no friends...


| >>623546 I'm sorry to hear that. It wasn't until I started college that I finally ended up making myself. I hope your luck changes and that you make good friends. I also hope that you don't end up in the state I'm in at the moment.


| I hang around people that hate each others guts all the time and it's ok


| Tell them you don't want to be part of the drama and can be an impartial observer.
Alternatively, make new friends.


| >>623619 seconded the whole make new friends thing. If you told them before about not wanting to be involved in drama or fights and they can respect that just dump em
