Sigh.
Everything you are saying makes sense
I hope there is a way to improve the situation where OTHERS truly help instead of only talking about what cannot be done. Situations can improve with help not just expecting the person in trouble to do it on their own.
Even a real hug is helpful to 'ground' / center oneself and to get thoughts in order.
People need to love each other for real, in their actions,
instead of expecting everyone only to look out for themselves.
I recently (a few days ago) had a very bad time of it and when I met XH asked for a hug which he gave.
Just that 1 hug helped my feelings and mindset improve.
I hope the reassurance here can compensate for what's missing from the people around you..
but I hope even more that you and they find a way to help ease things fro you.. i hope better people come along if u have found that the people around u don't have integrity
I like your reply, and agree a lot with what you say. You seem to get what I'm talking about. Especially this:

Most of my friends suck. I'm open about it here. They don't have the time for me as I do for them. Before anyone thinks that it's wrong for me to backstab them, let me say this: If they were in the same situation I was in a few years ago, I would have let any of them stay with me. Only a couple of them offered this to me (I'm grateful to them for this) but none of the others gave too much of a damn whether I lived or died. One of them talks to me more now even though a few years back I told him once, without moaning, that I wanted to die and if he would please talk to me, and he and his GF never replied to me. I still don't forgive either of them. My idea of friendship is that you're always there for them (in actions, as you say) and it's not good enough otherwise. I need new friends, I'm way overdue. Most (not all) are really crap.
