I’m not exactly a prophet who knows everything but the longer you stay in toxic relationships the harder it is when you end up getting hurt. The only way you can find out if they mean it or not is to tell them “hey that comment kinda hurt me” or “hey can you stop doing that.” But not the issue anyway. If you don’t have any friends I’m not the right person to ask. I’m not exactly a wizard at making friends.
And I bet you’re being plenty supportive. You’re a great person Auntie. But I feel like you could be keeping the whole planet alive and you’d still think you’re not doing enough. Everyone is an idiot for passing up a friendship like yours. They’re all just blind dummies to think you are only a snack dispenser.
Give me their name so I can beat them up for you./j
