>>46458340I know your pain, anon. Had something along those lines with an artist acquaintance I used to message a lot and I barely keep up with him unless I sign on MSN or what became of it.
You can still choose to be friends or acquaintances with those people if it benefits you in other ways or you value something about that friendship. Don't feel bad about keeping a distance or cutting things off if it comes to that though. Nothing good from maintaining an antagonizing friendship if things get worse before they have a chance to get better. Don't feel bad about your tastes, but the thing about friendships is that sometimes boundaries can be tested. Maybe you just have to develop methods yours can be enforced or find some way to stand by them in way people can respect. Perhaps that's too flowery.
What I can tell you is feeling like a victim looking for sympathy is the empty calories form of feeling good about yourself. Improving your self image physically and mentally at least grants your some license not to look pathetic for your waifu, that much I can tell you.
I mean according to Masters canon, Jasmine IS an athlete so one of the takeaways for us Clangbros is to have some iron to pump if nothing else.
