Do you want Lose Friends or Leave People Alone?

I've lost friends by leaving them alone. Turns out toxic people just kind of self destruct.

Let's draw straws

To get ready to fuk robots lol

Come on, enough are banging out humans who don’t use their brains already. Do we really need robots? 🫢

I'm on this right now. One of my close friends went to that stubborn spiral of handling life and her kid in a tight grip. God bless her, she has it hard and is awesome to manage, but lately gets triggered by everything, reacts with ill humor to the simplest things and cannot be dealt with anymore.🫠 I'm done being exhausted by smalltalk.🫠

I had a friend like that too. Always complaining and always on edge. But I had no idea how to distance myself from that besides just being myself, which worked cause one day I did something that offended her and a very complex house of cards fell over and I haven't talked to her since. There was apparently a lot of straw on that camel's back.

So I figure if I just be myself, that's apparently enough to repel such people.

I'm nice. I could offend her greatly around parenting, since she's hard authoritarian always rough at her kid, but that would do potentially more damage and is just a low blow. I guess I'll just disappear.

Doing nothing is a powerful and difficult thing to do. Good luck.

Statistics, she should look at that. Tight grip = more chances to get disappointed or to things to go not according the plan.

(duh)

I learned this after reading Fooled By Randomness. Trying to be too "in control" really does make more things go wrong.

Yep. And not my problem.
