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?
Honestly it's not. I don't want spill my whole life story on leftist shitpost board but tl;dr it was for the best. Not being around her made me feel better about myself and there were a lot of problems with our relationship that ultimately stemmed from her. The only way it could work is if I demanded that she change several fundamental things about herself and that's not going to happen to someone I haven't spoke to in almost a year if I couldn't have done it when she was one of my closest friends. There were a lot of problems with us beyond her being a lib that probably aren't mendable and almost certainly aren't worth trying to mend. As much as it hurts, it was for the better, and I think that's part of why it hurts so bad.
