I have learned to just leave places, groups, relationships or acquaintances that are negative to me. There is not shame on that.

I left one group because I always asked when we were playing online, no one answered, but then I found them playing online, without me. I left the group, and kept a couple friends from there, and we still talk.

I was in this big community related to books, but it got bad, it got noisy, trolls and such, so I just left. I opened a new group with the people I did like from that group, and we are getting together this friday for some beers :D

Your time is precious, never waste your time on people that don't deserve it.

Are these friend groups or group chats? Your experience sounds more like group chats. Withing large groups, there are lots of subgroups.

I used to have lots of 'friends'. Wed all hang out, have beers, have fun. Then, when I was getting married, I realised there were a whole bunch of people that were just acquaintances. I didn't know them except on a surface level. Some are still in group chats I'm in.

My, now husband, and I made a rule for our wedding when looking at numbers. If their number wasn't in our phone (not a group chat) and we hadn't been to each other's homes, we weren't doing an invite.

I'm not trying to gatekeepn your experience, more that we should be careful to know there is a difference between friends, acquaintances and colleagues. I've been super friendly with colleagues but when either of us moves on, that's the end. Real friends meet up regularly and invest time for each other. It's give and take getting to know people on an emotional level, not just spending time together.

RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
