Is It Selfish That I Don't Want Friends? by durentboi(op): 11:39pm On Nov 24, 2024
I'm 26 years old and I just finished university

I'm naturally introverted but in my university days, I tried to socialize a bit and made like a dozen of close friends.
But at this stage I want to abandon them all. Cut off contacts and not hang out with anyone (but I can offer a helping hand whenever requested of me. Although I dont ask anyone for favors)

I dont really like the idea of friendship any longer, I simply just prefer romantic relationship and hangouts with my family.

I've met really good people as friends but I feel like one can spare himself a lot of stuff by simply being alone.

Some friends can either be too entitled or too suspicious of you, or not even care about you at all.

I'm friendly with everyone but zero close friends.

I don't want to hurt this my former friends.

Am I being selfish?

Na, you are not being selfish. I evaluate my friendship with people from time to time and have cut off ties with lots of friends who are not aligning with my objectives. Your life your rules my friend and there is nothing wrong with being selfish. I love to be selfish and never let anyone make you feel guilty for being selfish as it is a selfish world already before you were born. Do not waste your time on unprofitable friendships or relationships.

My brother, you are not selfish at all.
Not having friends doesn't mean you won't be successful in whatever you do.
Friends have caused so much hurt and pain to people in this life.
The most painful betrayal comes from friends.
You can do extremely well without them.
If you must have friends, keep them at a distance.
These perilous times, close friendship is a huge risk to people.
It's nearly impossible to dodge a stone thrown at you from behind.
Friends will sleep with your spouse,try to poison you over money and material things,dupe you in business deals,work with your enemies against you out of jealousy and resentment.
You can have friends from a distance.
That's the best way to avoid unexpected betrayal and attack from them.
Distant friendship means that you can relate socially with them in public places but keep your private, family and business affairs completely sealed off from their knowledge.
Many men these days are now into distance friendship because it favours them and they don't want any of the negativities associated with close friendship.
My brother, strictly maintain the distance friendship and see your life completely transformed, without the dramatics of close friendship.
