anecdotally all my mentally ill or social inferior friends/partners over the years... have all become full blow misinformation/delusional conspiracy theory types of people. and are no longer my friends.

their desperation in my reading is that they simple refuse to acknowledge their mistakes and rectify their behaviors... so it must be some vast conspiracy that causes them to overspending, make poor lifestyle choices, and be unable to keep a job...

and to them anyone who is mildly put together is some privledged jerk with zero empathy for them and their 'totally unique' situation...

i also pathologically avoid these people now, i was a lot more tolerate of them 10 years ago. But all they want to do is drag you down into their delusions and misery, they do not want to improve their own lives, let alone ours. They will also take your successes as personal attacks on themselves...
