Pfft Mr Money Bags over here...
"Going through a mental crisis" doesn't necessarily mean that you're treating your friends like shit. If you treat your friends like shit, and that drives them away, whose fault is that?
There are, of course, exceptions, but those have to be people whom I care for and love very, very much. And even then, if the toxicity is too damaging to my own mental health, I have to cut them off for my own good. At the end of the day, all human relations rely on a cost/benefit analysis. If I'm losing more than I'm gaining from this relationship, why should I continue it?
I also don't think you're doing that person any favors by ignoring their bad behavior.
Just because I want to die doesn't mean I should drag friends and family down with me
Stressing them the hell out about my well-being just makes life worse for them and piles guilt on me
If/when I do kill myself I want none of them to know it was acutely that bad because then no one can blame themselves for not doing anything to stop it
Letting anyone that close to me would purely be doing them a massive disservice
healthy boundaries are a secret weapon in securing and keeping happy relationships.
This is good!
If you don't want to handle people at their worst don't have kids!
ETA since apparently people have no sense of humor and/or no kids: when you have kids there are lots of times that they are at their worst. It's part of being baby/toddler/children. When they are tired they can have absolute meltdowns. And you have to deal with them, because they are your children and you as a parent have to teach them how to deal with those emotions.
So yeah, kids are little sociopaths that are also absolutely lovely. Don't want to deal with professional liars and manipulators with also zero remorse, don't have kids.
I'll have you know I am much worse than a child!
I don't doubt that, I'm pretty sure you're old enough that now not even your parents have to deal with you 😝 (Just kidding riding the joke of course, no offense meant)
I find that the people who talk the most about toxicity and boundaries are the most toxic people who don’t respect boundaries.
the more time goes by, the less of it i'm willing to compromise putting up with bullshit. every breath you take is one breath closer to your last
