A serious answer:
One of the core parts of my beliefs/values is that we’re all responsible for the company we keep. Even family, once we’re adults. So I have a really dim view of people who complain about all the negative drama in their life, yet continue to surround themselves with idiots and assholes.
I don’t have many people that I’m legitimately close to in my life. Part of it is because of my disability, but part of it is also by choice. I have too much crap to worry about in my day-to-day life to be dragged down by another’s inability to competently handle their own life. I turn 38 next month. I figure that if someone is around my age and they haven’t figured out how to be an adult, I don’t want them in my life.
It may sound unnecessarily harsh, but I’m in a vulnerable position. My continued survival relies on surrounding myself with good actors. I don’t have the luxury to give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the fundamentals.
