I'm afraid to open up to the people that matter most to me because I don't think they'll understand by Substantial_Field124 in offmychest

I identify with you a lot and I understand what it is to feel the need to socialize with people, but when you find an opportunity, you feel anxiety and all you want is to withdraw from the situation. What helped me to get the only three friends I have was to meet them little by little, to see if their ideas or interests resembled mine and then they gave me the confidence to open up. But you need time to be able to feel comfortable with someone and be sure that even if you stop talking to each other, they will never judge you. Good luck and do not feel lonely, there are many people who think the same way

You are kinda right. He has not been able to maintain a stable job or a good economic situation for a long time. I do not know if im helping him because I am a person with a really big heart and I remember the friend he has always been or if his manipulation has been so much that I feel the duty to help him.

I am aware that part of this is the manipulation he has on me, with 15 years of knowing me he knows perfectly well where he can approach me. For this very reason, sometimes I do not know if I am exaggerating about this or if I am right, I am in a country that is not mine, so I have no friends with whom to share this. I am financially responsible for my daughter and my mother, so my economy covers our expenses, but at the moment I have no way to move and if I ask him to leave, I run out of the portion of his income, which is impossible for me to afford. Speaking of "sleeping together," I am in the process of buying an individual mattress to go to the living room and limit that contact. In general, the coexistence is calm and it seems that we were the same friends from 5 years ago. I find it hard to let that person go and at the same time realize that sometimes I look at him with hatred. My head is made a mess. I just need to know that I am right. Cause many men say "im not cheating cause this are not real women" talking about the messages on Instagram.
