I found out from a friend's post that Kyle is not guilty, said friend couldn't understand how he was not guilty when he killed two people. I tried to explain to him but he ended up blocking me (this was all on FB don't crucify me it's how I stay in contact with a lot of people who are far away). I am pretty upset about this because he has helped me out a lot with guidance when I have been in bad spots mentally.
I think my BPD (borderline personality disorder) is effecting my judgement on this because I truly feel that it's my fault. I feel that I am a bad person for being overly opinionated and I should just stay quiet. I feel like I am losing more and more friends every day as well. This one hit harder than most and just makes me want to change who I am as a person.
No, you have to stay true to yourself if you really want to stay sane. Sometimes I think political persuasion is a personality trait you are born with. We all have our role to play in this world. Maybe your friend was your friend at a time in your life when you needed a specific kind of counsel. But reach into your core and know that you are exactly who you are supposed to be and exactly where you are supposed to be in this life right now. Even if this is a hard time.
I like your view on this, and maybe you are right. I am more mentally stable than when I had depended on him a great deal in the past. It still hurts a lot though 😞
I've gone through similar things. Live in a pretty blue state and very blue city. It's just not possible to not have friends and family with different beliefs. My husband and I were disinvited to Christenings for my nieces' children because we are not vaxxed. I am blowing off a lunch with colleagues that I have seen at Christmastime every year for nearly 25 years because I just can't listen to it. Three people we know from the same firm died post double jab in 120 day span from heart attack, blood clot, heart attack. 2 late 50's one 61 year old. And they will still be giving me shit about not being vaccinated. No can do.
Hang in there, this too shall pass.
