Do you have a bestie (ie. best friend)?

I did, not anymore and I don’t think I will ever have a real friend as long as my mom and her siblings are a part of my life because they will just shoo them away.

Do you have a lot of friends?

I had a college classmate reach out to me a few months back. We don’t talk anymore, though. It seemed like she was just hoping I can land her a job. She wanted to hang out but I wasn’t interested in hanging out with her and her toddlers who can be extremely curious. Besides, my mom doesn’t approve of this friend, so there’s that. Like I wrote in question #1, I can’t have friends as long as they are around.

Has a friend ever let you down to the extent that the friendship has died?

Most of the time, it’s not me dropping the friendship but it’s the other way around. People get bored with me because I can’t hang out because of my mom and I can’t relate to anyone’s lives because of my mom. I don’t want anyone’s pity but when one is living with someone like my mom, what can one talk about?

Are you more likely to confide in a friend rather than family?

I would never confide in a family member because my mom’s siblings will just go blab to other family members and eventually, it will lead back to my mom. If I have a friend, I would confide in that friend. Unfortunately, I no longer have a friend, so the only place I can really confide in is this blog.
