              Some absolute gem of a human being decided to express their opinion that people shouldn’t be out in public if they’re “planning to have a mental breakdown” because it’s so embarrassing for everyone around them to be seen having to comfort a friend who is going through a hard time.

            I’ll make sure that next time a loved one dies I’m not in public!! Just because some dude finds it uncomfortable to see other people be sad or upset. I’ll call my mom now, let her know she can only die when I’m at home in private.

              I think my favourite part was “planning to have a mental breakdown” as if that’s something that people plan.

              Like, yeah, let me just check my calendar for the day. Yeah, I’ve got lunch with Josh at 12:30, sales meeting at 2:00, mental breakdown at 3:00, panic attack at 6:00. Man, my day is packed!

      my nephew was murdered, I helped raise him as a teenager while my brother was in the military. I cried in front of my “friends” and they judged me. They are no longer my friends. Terrible people. just like you

        I’m glad you were able to rid yourself of those clearly toxic people.

        I’m sorry that it took that event to figure out that they’re not worth having as friends.

        I hope you are doing better after all of that.

        Sincerely, ·some random dude on the Internet.

          thank you. I am happily married and enjoying life with friends that aren’t going all in on machismo bs. This all happened a long time ago, so I can slightly forgive my ex-friends for being immature and mocking me behind my back about it. Feelings are hard to deal with yourself let alone with other people when you are 20 years old.

          “If any of my friends are stressed and pushed to the breaking point, they need to schedule their mental breakdown in advance for a place and time when I am not around so they don’t inconvenience me.”

          That’s more or less what you sound like
