>>84140612NTA but I have cut out every single person in my life (or at least minimized contact with them as much as possible) that have ever caused me any kind of discomfort and I am content in my solitude.
Sure, all those family members and longtime 'friends' might not understand and may be suffering in some minor way as a result but I never considered such things in the transaction to begin with.
Burdening yourself with people who keep harming you for the sake of 'muh empathy' or whatever for your whole life just means you have a weak mind and don't truly love/care about yourself.
It's literally only a problem if you get lonely.
