@ Elph That doesn't sound like a bad way to start friendships. I'd like to have a posse, my friends are very dear to me but many of them have different interests and tastes

Edit: unless you create a situation that is forced/unnatural

There’s an occasional exception but it’s so rare I don’t really care to give the person the benefit of the doubt. I’ve softened on that a little because I’m ****ed up too and working in a hot ass kitchen you see some amazing **** good and bad. Still though it’s a red flag. Too much pain.

I reached that point too. Then my brother made a huge turn around and it made me realize people can do it. He had an incredible amount of emotional and financial support from my parents though. Not sure if he would have been able to do it without them. Still, I know where you're coming from. Keeping distance is fine but I still care about my junkie friends.

A lot of it was after they all died I didn’t make any new ones.

And when it’s your brother, **** man, hope it stays good - for real

I think he's good. It's just the manic bi-polar that is still an issue sometimes. Not his fault though. Thanks for saying that.

My condolences, Exo.

Mine too, that's awful. At least it's good that your brother is doing well

I wish my brother could make a turn around but he's in jail again so it's really up to him. Haven't really had an older brother to talk to in over 10 years it feels like. But it also made me try to be a good older brother to my younger brother. Help him when he needs it. My younger brother is far more successful than I am but I still try to be the supportive older brother regardless of what he decides to do.
