So idk what to title this

Having been almost a year separated from a bad group of people I called my friends and having grown and changed since then it really makes me think

A song I really loved came on the tv and I was with my sis and we both started singing along and then I thought back to when I shared that I liked this song with my previous friend, he told me to stop speaking, as a joke at the time yeah but that made me realize he basically invalidated my feelings and then I remembered so many more of his red flags

He love bombed, he took everything as a personal attack, he spoke ill of people (even people he liked) he was quick to dismiss and hate any and all authority figures (teachers, other people’s parents etc) and worst of it was he saw me as the controlling, two faced ignorant person and I believed him, he made me feel like I was the asshole in that situation and I just let him treat me like that

As for my other friends, I pity them because well they’re still his friends and don’t realize he’s super unstable and destructive

Anyway I’m done yapping, if your gut tells you something is off about someone please trust it
