    Same peeps that don’t chill, message me every now and again that they’re lonely.

    Then decline every invitation I give them.

      Posting memes about how it feels good to be invited, so you should still invite people who decline all the time. As if I enjoy getting turned down non-stop by “friends”.

        I can imagine a lot of people feeling like that’s “pestering” them. “Jeez can’t they just take no as an answer”

      Christ, so much of this shit on social media. People need to recognize that when you show up to try and help out with depression and anxiety (because they went online begging for someone to help) its some emotional fucking labor, too. Like trying to pull someone onto a boat who is drowning, only for that person to keep shoving you away and insisting you’re saving them wrong.

        Thank you.

        It’s tough on the other people around as well as that person. It’s not that they don’t care, it’s that they don’t know how to help and the negativity and stuff affects them too.

        By the way, I say that as someone who’s been clinically diagnosed and did six months as an inpatient.

    Notice how it’s the guy in the jacket saying everything.

    The one person who doesn’t just hang out, but gives a little micro sermon on how hanging out is wonderful, is the one who wants the group to be a cult.

    One exception is when you try to be productive. I’m usually much more productive when I’m alone an scan work in peace(depends on the work tho, I’m referring to doing non manual labor).

      Actually same - but it’s so uneasy, unnerving, even anxiety-inducing that I feel it’s befitting the sinister nature of extroverts it depicts.
