I’m only going to speak for myself, but I wouldn’t maintain friendships that require me to gaslight myself to feel accepted. The friendships are conditional and transactional, which doesn’t sound much like friendship at all.

I have plenty of friends who I disagree with on major issues. One of my best friends is very religious. I am an atheist. We disagree on so much. And yet we have very productive and respectful conversations, find common ground, and still love one another at the end of the day. Neither of us demands the other change her views.

Find better friends? (I realized you said it’s hard in your area and you have my empathy. I’ve managed to find better friends since I was canceled and my mental health is so much better now.)

Why were you cancelled and how'd you find better friends?
