My late 20s I spent most of my time opening the doors of my heart to everyone and anyone. My 30s I spent closing most of those doors after letting in the wrong people. In my 40s I’ve sadly started having to lock those doors.

I didn't expect to see a post quite this close to my thinking tonight. Yeah, I'm at nailing the windows shut tonight. Hugs to you and may our 50s be better.

I’ve burned the door down and blew away the ashes.

I do wish it were easier to be...for lack of a better metaphor, "more pangolin than snail." Both have protection, yes, but one's much squishier than the other. "Why would you never stream [game]?" ...because people think I am a pangolin. They do not need to know where all my squishy bits are.

If cutting certain people out of your life has made your life better, congratulations on making your life better! I think many other sensible people have had an experience similar to yours.

No matter what happens, I hope things get better for you, and that whoever's still allowed through those doors are the kind of people who make your life worthwhile. I met you once at A-Kon years ago and you were so fun to talk to, and I hope the smile I saw that day is still within you somewhere.

My heart goes out to you. Been dealing with similar stuff. Had to cut out a whole friend group this year.

I'm sorry things are hard for you LK. I understand completely where you are coming from though, I have bent over backwards and given my all for people who didnt think about me once, now I've cut them out of my life they are trying to crawl back in. Put yourself first, you wont regret it.

It gets easier when you hit your 50s and you welcome them in and kill them.

Wait until you hit your 60s! You’ll look back at your younger self process & find out you did the best & right thing for your sanity & mental health. I followed a similar path & I have zero regrets. Why would you let monsters into your life ? You’ll get better at distilling BS but remember you

might still get duped into a disastrous encounter. Take the time in your 40s to focus on things & activities you like to do or want to try.

*every time a-holes show up now that I'm in my 40s* FWIW I miss those days too. Your work, it actually made me find friends, and gave me safe people, so thank you for that. I want the same for you.
