Thanks for the reminder. I feel like I'm on the edge of talking to one of my toxic friend again.

Don’t. I know it’s hard but they don’t care about you. It’s been a year plus since I spoke to a toxic friend. Best choice ever to say bye

Agree. Or they’ll try to lure you into some sort of scheme and take advantage of your loneliness. Worse thing you can do.

Yep. He just took my dogs too so now I’m getting court papers ready.

I cut contact with an extremely toxic friend a few years ago. Last year around this time frame he reached out and due to loneliness I was willing to give it a chance. In the same conversation he doubled down on being an asshole so I went back to having zero contact. Maybe 6 months ago I started back down that same path of being lonely and wanting to reach out. This time I discovered he had died the month before. At the time it really bothered me, however now... I'm definitely happy I cut contact and never should have doubted myself. There's a reason I don't allow assholes to stay in my life, I just need to remind myself of that on occasion.
