>>18650726Only 6 months for me but it's been fracturing ever since lockdown. Everyone I knew (friends family collegues neighbours) went balls deep in the covid nonsense, so when I wouldn't get vaccinated I was cut off from EVERYONE. I didn't drop my head, didn't insult a single one of them, never raised my voice despite being screamed at; naively thought that when it all blew over they'd realise how evil they had behaved and apologise.
Well, they all softened their opinion enough to reach out to me again, being sickly sweet and nice. But no apology. Not even an acknowledgment that what they did was hurtful or wrong. They just say 'Duhhh the information changed' or 'it wasn't my fault the government lied to me!'. In other words, they learned nothing, and will 100% behave in the exact same way next time.
So I said my goodbyes, told them I love them and moved on. They still text me occasionally, left me a birthday card in the postbox last month they'd all signed. But what good is niceness when times are easy if you'll stab me in the back as soon as times get hard again. Fuck it all. Outside of work calls, I haven't had a conversation with a real human being since.
I got my dogs, I work from home, I have a growing collection of musical instruments I'm learning, I read. I feel life has been the best it has ever been these past 6 months; I do worry I'm coping to myself though. I don't think I am, but how would I know?
