I don't have a lot of friends. It's something I've come to accept.

I've come to learn that a lot of my "friends" I grew up with in my teenage years have given in to the culture of narcissism brought on by the facebook / Instagram/ social media world we live in.

I've recently deleted my facebook and I rarely use Instagram for myself. I did this because over the past few years since my stroke and subsequent permanent disabilities from it, and even before then (now that I think about it), a lot of so-called friends liked having me around for their benefit, but once those benefits stopped, such as being driven around by me (probably because I had the "cool" car), or being covered by me when wed all go out to a bar or play pool or such, they lost any interest in keeping friendship.
I think part of the problem though, was me and how I used to be. I used to be a bit more liberal with my trust and I'd dare even say that I was buying my friendships when I look back. On top of that, i really have chances repeatedly to people who didn't deserve it. One example of this was a "friend" who lost his shit & blew up on me over a girl he liked, but she liked me. I didn't have interest in her because I saw through her interest in me being superficial (liked my car, my home, that I was financially independent & responsible, etc) but we were still friends because we had needy common interests.
Even after I called him out on it after he blew up on me, there were still instances of him trying to prove how better he was than others, how he was "so awesome" and such. My final straw that made me cut him outta my life was when I called him out on his "friendly jestures" being fake and pointed examples out.
Anyway, that was an example of the kind of friends I had. I'd say that now, I have maybe three or four friends I can honestly say I'd trust ever talking to.
And I'm okay with that.
