I appreciate your comment.

Again, I'm sorry for venting. I was triggered, but didn't mean to downplay your experience.

I found that opening up to people about deep personal issues makes them steer clear even faster.

You don't have to apologize! Your feelings are yours, and if it's not hateful, no shame in expressing them

I really do think if you put your mind to shifting the framing/perspective of your feelings though, that you can have a much different future than past

Hoping things start to go your way, mate

(And yeah, definitely don't dump personal issues on new friends. I find that making friends is much easier if you ask thoughtful questions after listening to them and letting other people do most of the talking at first.)
