I think I've finally had enough of their bullshit. I used to be an obnoxious liberal but sometime in 2014 before the midterms I came to my senses. Some of these people have been my friends for years so I've put up with their snarky comments, telling me I'm misguided or confused and I'll come to my senses. I've put up with them ganging up on me and yelling in my face about how and why I'm wrong. I've put up with the constant Trump and Conservative bashing. But after these last two weeks of all of them pandering and virtue signaling I finally think I'm done. I've never heard a single of one them ever mention black inequalities or their concern for black lives. Some of them are posting ways to defund the police. I think I've hung on for so long because everyone I know is a liberal and if I stop hanging out with them, I'll have no friends left but at this point I would rather be friendless than surrounded by a bunch of mindless hypocrites.

So doing things alone at first is awkward. Not going to lie. But if you push yourself to do it. Go out to eat by yourself. Go to the movies by yourself. It will start to feel normal and not so bad. But most importantly doing things alone is a time of personal growth. I'm not exaggerating when i tell you, that you will re-evaluate almost every perception you have of life. Everything out there has only one purpose. To distract us from ourselves. From what is truly important. You can learn much from silence.
Thanks for all the great advice. Some self reflection sounds kind of nice right about now. Perhaps I'll try to grab a drink alone this weekend and see how it goes 😀.
