But you know what? I always believed I was the cause. I was a loser. I made them leave. I screwed up again. My life is worthless. My future is dark, lonely, miserable, and will probably end in suicide. I deserve to suffer. I deserve death... Or would death be too good for me....
Now I realize. It's not me. It's them. I may be autistic. But I am also human. I have feelings. I'm not trash that you can just throw away. I deserve to be treated like a
fellow human life. I deserve friends who care and make me feel joy. Friends who make me feel valuable and worthy of living. Friends who won't just decide after a short time to take all of that away from me. I deserve better than that.
I deserve a friend who's not using me, a friend who won't leave because things aren't on their terms, a friend who isn't a liar, a friend who's there for me when I need them, a friend who understands what it means to be human. I could go on but you get the point.
I refuse to be played. I refuse to let someone break me again. I refuse to take all the blame for a failed friendship. I refuse to give them excuses. And most importantly I refuse to lower my standards for friendship.
You are looking at a woman who is going to raise her self esteem.
In fact I'm already half way there. ;)
