Recognize the value you bring to the table. You arent a nobody, you arent unfunny, you arent annoying and you definetly arent a nuisance to anyone around you. I did things that i regret, ive distanced myself from most of my friends thinking i was just deadweight. This all stopped when those friends called me on a saturday night asking if i wanted to play games. Only then did i realize it was all in my head and i mattered to someone outside my relatives.
I stopped talking to my friends because they all started seeming really annoyed hearing about my struggles with cancer. I know they're going through their own problems as well, but it certainly made me feel like I was just a burden on them. I suppose I was right, because it's been over six months and no one has reached out, including my oldest friend who just never responded to me when I told them I had cancer.
I am dead weight, but that's because of a sick fucking economic system that doesn't care if I live or die.
Oh damm i am so sorry for you. Also what a dick move to abbandon someone who has cancer.
I abandoned them, so whatever. I do appreciate the kind words but I don't blame them.
I blame them, life isn't only about financial gain and I put a higher value on the magic a friend and I can share.
I know that, I don't feel that
