Yeah I thought I had found one of the "good ones". They were my best friend for years until they totally and completely rejected and abandoned me during the toughest time in my life. Because I was inconvenient for them. I've been an internet dweller all my life due to social anxiety. And I know that's the only place now that I can really find safety and comfort, not the "real world".

We are still friends now but it shattered the illusion of what I thought existed. And it is difficult at times to like them now. I feel even crazier flipping from liking them to hating them. Never felt that before with anyone.

They aren't a friend I can just "leave" because we work together.
