There are people who'd say I'm their friend, but I don't know if I reciprocate that sentiment. I've been a terrible friend because I've been unwell. Eventually I stopped being a presence in their lives, and they continue on their merry way without me. It doesn't bother me too much these days because I just don't have the energy anymore.
I voted yes because I have one actual friend I can confide in. Unfortunately my partner hardly qualifies as a 'friend' because we don't talk to each other. At all. Getting conversation out of them is like pulling teeth.
Works for them, though. When I'm depressed, I'm not rambling in their presence for an hour about absolutely nothing, getting zero response every single time because it's better to sit there in complete silence than actually engage with anything I have to say.
I'm really bitter about this, oops.
