I'm now facing this issue too. A long-time friend is on the verge of going homeless. The problem is, I can't afford to help him out and if I did I would be significantly reducing my lifestyle and the hard times I prepared for just encase the worst happens to me. What do I say to my friend? "Too bad, sorry but sucks for you" ....??? It feels bad man but fuck. It's not like I have endless money to hand out welfare. I already told my friend he needs to find another job. Problem is even with another job he's not going to break even or easily avoid bankruptcy. He's got no inheritance left over either. He already lived off it and spent it. Get ready anons, hard times coming!

Plus, I've already been giving him some charity over the years. I've done this for multiple long-time friends. However I cannot afford to keep the gravy train going or God forbid let them live off me. At some point you got to tell them to fend for themselves and yah it sucks, don't know how this will impact future relations.

I lost many friends and people that I thought that were my friends, mostly on internet

The fist friend that I lost was a kid that used to play MCPE everyday with me, he also helped me with my old YouTube channel, I lost him due my strict parents, they chimp out after they saw the news about the Blue Whale Game and prohibited me of having internet friends

My second internet friends just stopped talking with me for no reason, even on WhatsApp he didn’t answer my dms

I lost others 2 internet friends in two different occasions, but for the same reason, I used too create created accounts on Discord and after I got sad I deleted them and because of my stupid I lost my friends twice, both used to go in call with me everyday, they were really cool guys. I miss them

I ended up blocking my childhood friend after a discussion that we had, but before that he was giving sighs that he didn’t want my friendship anymore. I lost his friendship forever because now I live in another state

Dude, that's just life. Everyone has had at least one really good friend who eventually went their own way and never talked again. My brother had his best friend Zack, they now rarely speak because they live so far away from one another and I had a best friend Mark a long time ago but he turned out to be a complete stuck up snob during his teenage years and I turned into a heavy drug and alcohol user and dropped out of high school. We don't speak to one another anymore. Last I heard Mark is now a family man, good on him. Still an asshole but whatever, still wish him the best.

Come to think about it..... I was an asshole too, no doubt about it. If Mark ever reads this, he knows I was pretty shitty at times too myself. Did plenty of regretful shit growing up that's for sure. Also kinda bullied some kids which I do feel bad about and shouldn't have done.

nice frens will come your way, i just lost two friends who i was very close with on and off. i try my best to be nice and accepting since i was always lonely and shy growing up, but a lot of people will take advantage of that.
life is about the journey though dont give up

i've lost all my friends over the years but i just didn't return their phone calls because proprietary communication made me uncomfortable. i was worried of people kept using this shit then this would be the beginning of a surveilance state. i knew they were gonna become compliant normie cattle before i had words to express this worry.

man was i right...

don't be worried about not having friends. you are evolutionary inclined towards having them but in this day and age, they are just a source of unfairness in your life and it is not true that you can't live without any. you can. but if you don't want to, time to get creative.

the way you deal with it is to find ways to meet people who could be friends to you. people bend themselves in all kind of undignified ways like pretending to believe in an allpowerful invisible skydaddy just to have something in common with other people but i encourage you to not repeat the mistakes of the idiot older generation.

At least the "idiot" older generations learned to read and write, knew how to fix utilities and have some life skills. Entertainment was way better quality too.

I'm not blaming younger generations though. I blame the government and Congress because they bankrupted the country with endless wars and debt insolvency, almost all the problems we have now, including economic, is the result of very stupid arrogant political policies the last 3 decades. Smartphones did nothing to help with current social problems either.

If anything I think we need a hard reset back to 1949.
