Can you explain what you mean by this? It sounds like a contradiction, loneliness is bad but friendship is worse?

- wly_cdgr 4y agoIn my experience, yes, though with (very rare) exceptions. I don't see it as a contradiction, though
- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoI think the point of good friendships is that they aren't this way.
- colechristensen 4y agoBad friends can be worse than no friends, and a series of bad luck could make a person believe that the only friends are bad ones (alternatively unrealistic expectations could cause this too)
- openknot 4y agoBad relationships, including friendships, can cause one to adopt poor communication habits (e.g. guilting others or ghosting others), and also have a higher tolerance for negative behavior instead of communicating a boundary. There is a bit more discussion on this in an old Hacker News thread from February 2020, where several people discuss the serious impact of unhealthy relationships in the quality of one's life: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22214066 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22214066
