hey, so, this has been weighing on my mind a lot recently because of multiple scenarios i’ve found myself caught up in

aros (well, anyone, but aros in particular, since this is a problem i’m finding is pretty common with aros), don’t trap yourself in an abusive friendship out of the idea that you have no other friends – even if that’s true. you’ll find other people. i promise. just a few years ago i was in the worst friendship of my life because i was terrified to be alone, and within a year or so i’d managed to reconnect with some friends that i’d been cut off from and make new friends and now i have an extremely positive, supportive, thriving friend group that is more than i could ever have imagined. and i would have none of that had i stayed in the abusive friendship i was so afraid to leave

and maybe it won’t work out for you as well as it did for me – idk your situation – but i can 100% promise that no friends is better than one abusive friend. you’ll find people again eventually, and when you do, you’ll be so glad you didn’t stay in a fucked up relationship

i know it’s easier said than done, especially depending on your circumstances, but please don’t let someone who doesn’t deserve it stay in your life. you deserve better than that 💚
