I want to tell you something as someone who has had that be the largest recurring obstacle of my entire life.Ive really been trying to find this all my adult life. The more "unique" (in a bad way) your experiences are the harder that is to find. Every single friend I know like that is addicted to either alcohol or drugs and severely mentally ill. Two have given themselves organ damage and will die early even though they have sobered up. It fucking sucks to go outside and see every older "version" of you is still dealing with same old shit and mainlining heroin on top of that.
The way you solve all that is you be that person you can look up to. You be that future version of yourself that isn't a fuck up.
The funny thing is I've actually met a lot of those people that are pretty much me. And while I did enjoy their company and did feel seen and theres a lot of value in that... they ultimately disappointed or hurt in some way. They conducted their lives in ways I wouldn't, or when they did disapprove or disagree I took it too personally, because I based my value on the idea that there was someone else who completely understood me. When someone like that hurts you or ends up being kind of downbad, you internalize it. You feel like the freak of freaks.
"You mean even this person who's Literally Me doesn't like me?"
"Oh... so is that what I'm going to be like in 20 years? Maybe my self hatred is justified. Maybe everyone else is justified, too."
"The closest thing I had to family did me dirty. Can't I have a tribe? Why am I always the one left behind?
STOP
Stop. Cut that out.
As lame and faggy and cringe and Oprah Hallmark zen as it sounds, you have to be that person for you. You have to give yourself that hug. You have to forgive yourself. You have to be that person that no one else can be for you. That doesn't mean you have to do it with a smile or with flair. Its not a romantic thing. Its the hardest thing you ever wil do. Thats why most people dont. You just have to do it.
Sounds like cope to excuse the apathy of a decaying society, and most of the time it is. But it's still true.
You will be fine. You won't be an addict. Because you won't be an addict. Why? Because you won't be an addict. You won't be a failure because you just won't be. Because you have a choice. It's your life. Your life doesn't have to be a tragedy.
It sucked losing my friend recently. More than probably anything before it. He felt like the one person who understood me. But honestly... that needed to happen. I was being silly putting my value and all my chips on another person. And I've done that multiple times throughout my life. And well... You've seen my posts. It's a bad thing to do. Don't do that.
Me... I've dated more recently. But I'm still alone. I don't have any real friends. And some days are better than others. There's still so much I can improve on. But I'm okay. Because I don't really hate my own company that much anymore. Sucks sometimes. But not as much.
You're not any other person. No one else can understand you but you, and that's still a barely most of the time. But you can be your friend. You can get things you want in life. You can be the parent, spouse and friend to yourself that nobody else could be. And in turn when you do find those people and create that family you care about, you can be the person for them that you always wanted others to be.
Things will be okay. And you will be okay. The best and worst thing about life is you have no idea what the future holds. But please...
take care of yourself.
