7 reasons you don't wanna be friends with me💔 When I'm going through something, I disappear. I'll ghost EVERYONE, isolate myself, deal with everything alone, then randomly come back like nothing happened. 🤦‍♀️ I'm not the “constantly check up and call” type of friend I can genuinely love you and still not call you every day or ask how you're doing every five minutes. My silence doesn't automatically mean I don't care. I'm stubborn as hell Once I think I'm right, good luck convincing me otherwise. I can cut you off very casually. Once I've mentally checked out, it's actually scary how quickly I can become a stranger. 🫠 I overthink EVERYTHING. You said “okay” instead of “okayyy” and now I'm studying the shift in your energy. I don't always want advice. Sometimes I'm telling you the story because I need you to listen, agree that I'm right, and call the other person annoying with me. That's it. I hate being controlled The moment I feel like you're trying to control me or tell me what to do, I'll automatically pull away. I really value my freedom.
