"That may be the saddest part. In her version of friendship, people are either proving your importance or quietly betraying it." I know a lot of people like this.
Sorry to hear of the really rough stretch of road you have travelled. You build friendships in your youth, grow them in your 30-40s. Then you get to a point where you realize who are acquaintances, casual friends, friends, and finally your inner circle. Just stop texting or calling everyone for a month. See what happens. You will find those truly worth your effort.
Losing friends can be so painful! I am sorry it has been rough overall. This is a wonderfully honest piece of writing that many people can relate to.

I’ve had it happen as severely as you. It’s devastating honestly. We were friends as long as I was useful and catered to her needs.
