I met some long time friends for pizza and beer tonight and i thought it was a fun night but right before we parted ways the two of them held an intervention with me. They said i was bringing up "socialist stuff" too much and it was making them depressed. They said to keep the conversation exclusively to things like games and anime. That if i didnt stop they didnt want to be friends anymore. Have you guys/gals/nonbinary pals experienced something like this before?
The friendship broke because of a lot of reasons. Long story short, I basically adopted her as a mom friend and trusted her judgement in choosing what was best for my life. That ultimately broke down in 2020 when I started drifting really hard to the left and she kept shaming me that I didn't vote for Joe Biden. I could articulate this a LOT better if I weren't drunk as shit right now, but I trusted that she was right and I was absolutely shook when I saw her take the definitively wrong stance on something. (Saying Joe Biden stood for women's rights, in this case). I used to trust everything she said but after that I couldn't take anything she said seriously. We were both so angry at eachother and refused to admit any wrong so we just... drifted apart
And fuck man. that HURTS. i am 100% sure that leaving her behind was the best choice for me but it doesn't change the fact that it's just emotionally painful. it was a toxic relationship where I ultimately needed her approval on everything but fuck man, I was her best friend for like 3 years and I don't know what to do anymore
It probably doesn't help that I'm listening to verifiably sad music :tm: but fuck
