Make new friends

Sometimes there is nothing better than getting a word of encouragement from someone you don’t know. So thanks to everyone who has ever done it, encouraged someone, smiled, done a good turn to a stranger. You are the best xxx

People are talking behind my back now, small whispers, “What’s wrong with him?”, “He looks so unhappy?”, “What have I done to offend him?”.

I think the only solution is to communicate with them, something like ‘My old friends are all worn out, so I’m dumping them and getting some new ones.’

Or should I just put them in the bin and walk away?

That’s me to a T
except none of it’s true
a lot of people like me
it’s just that I won’t have anything to do
with them
‘cos they bore me so.

Some of them try
it’s got to be said
but their trying falls short
and they’re just embarrassing instead
so I just leave them
leave them for dead

I’m casting all my old friends away. Distancing myself. Minimalising the emotional pain. I won’t see them again and I wish to spare them the knowledge that I don’t really care. Most of them are a drain and do not contribute to my life at all, except, perhaps, it could be viewed as a charitable act.

I’m bored with my friends, or at least with the majority of people I know. Like everyone else I can probably count my true friends on the fingers of one hand, me acquaintances however are legion. And I’m bored with them, they drain my energy and I need to dispose of them and get new.
To some extent it has been a waste of my time getting to know them and I have no doubt they will miss me, momentarily, as long as I miss them,
