I would try to tell them that you don't appreciate them commenting on your body and/or appearance. It's a boundary that you're allowed to have. As well as that, it's also important to realize that there are plenty of people you haven't met that are going to be friends, or people you just enjoy talking to. Sometimes people go through a time where they don't have any close friends, and although it may be painful, you can learn more about yourself that way. Then, if you want, you can try to find new friends (or they could find you, you never know), and you'll know exactly what you value in a friendship, and how you want to be treated.

Hm, some people just lack empathy. A friend went - Oh, you got grey hair - I haven't noticed the bit of grey at the sides of my head, before she pointed it out. Same with my troat, it looks chubby now, but she pointed out, that it always did, so now when I look at old pictures, I tend to see it as well. Maybe address, that you are not happy with them critisizing your looks. If the don't understand, or are not willing to at least try to change, you still have the option to cut them off.

You need to find yourself some non-toxic people. They're like slowly corroding acid.

I’ve finally given up on having friends. No one cares for me as much as I care for them. It’s a horrible feeling. So horrible I’d rather be alone ??♀️.

What do you do if you feel like you can’t get away from some people who call themselves ‘friends’ but you know that they don’t actually care for you and are no good for you? Since my mental health has been getting worse over these past few months, I have felt like I’ve hit rock bottom. My best friend of twelve years has more or less been avoiding to come and see me. I clearly know that it’s because of the way I feel at the moment & it’s not easy to be around me but I more or less try to hide it all when I’m around people anyway. I feel like most people around me are so bad for me, they add no good into my life and it sure does show when you are going through a bad time who your friends are! Any advice?

I cut my “best friend” off of 11 years this week. I have given her chance after chance to get better and she continued to treat me like shit. So I feel free from that, however my other best friend of 11 years stopped being friends with both me and the toxic friend just because I was still friends with her. I’m 20 and go to a community college and it’s been very hard for me to make friends even before the pandemic. I haven’t had any other friends outside them since hs and my hs friends honestly weren’t great to me either (we distanced, all of us) and of course I’ve looked at myself and considered myself to be the problem and blamed myself but even my therapist doesn’t think that’s true... but anyways. I’m here. Lonely af. Officially no friends. And the sad thing is I don’t know when I will have any. It could be months or years from now and I’m so focused on school... I have no idea if I will ever be happy with someone (like a vest or close friend) or even be in a relationship. Anyways this is what I’m going through and I’m feeling very alone
