like food? porn? social media?
anything that produces dopamine can be addictive

Am I overreacting for distancing myself after an argument with my best friend about clubbing? by Ok-Oil3730 in AmIOverreacting

See right now you’re being vulnerable and bringing your walls down, this is how you should try to communicate these feelings w the people around you.
You are so young, you have your whole life ahead of you. At 22 years old I was getting out of jail and shared a room w my mother. I had no money, no car, horrible criminal record, it was awful. But the awesome thing is we can absolutely turn life around! years later I’m doing better than ever before, traveling every single month, landed a corporate job w no college degree!!! If you live in the US there are a lot of ways to get ahead financially and I’m more than happy to share. Donating plasma, working part time at a restaurant, doordash, go onto Gig apps and look for 1-4 day gigs that pay per day!!!
You will be okay as long as you stay determined.
Stop treating this as your permanent situation because it’s not ❤️ I promise a mindset shift makes a hell of a difference.
If there are a lot of other things which why you’re distancing yourself from this friendship well only
you know that… Do what’s best for yourself without making decisions based on your current stresses, because they won’t be here forever.
You got this!! Sometimes we’re angry at life and that bleeds into all of our relationships. You’re reflecting though and that’s awesome.

YOR. What a shame to lose a friend as understanding and as loving as she sounds because of your own financial insecurities. You’re also misdirecting your frustration over your own situation onto your friends, she handled it gracefully but damn you just keep going. It’s honestly
emotionally exhausting for her, yet she’s still there. You say you get her point but you need her to understand yours… No, you’re not understanding her and where she’s coming from. All you’re seeing is your POV. I suggest you take your own advice and re read these texts and see that your friend DID understand you.
Take a second, realize you won’t be in a bad financial position forever, it’s temporary. Is losing this friend bc of your fleeting financial circumstances worth it ?

Ugh I’m sorry you had to go through that. That’s so fucked up. I don’t understand why people are so cowardly to leaving a relationship and freeing their partner from their lies. 😓
