Why is it so hard to meet decent people?

[Anonymous]

I discovered I'm more of an introvert. People scare me actually, and I get nervous around them, to the point where I'm stuttering.

I live in an area with drug dealers, drug addicts, and most of the girls either sell themselves for drugs or stick needles in their arms. The town I lived in before was not even close to this. The people were clean and the houses were nice.

The other day, I realized if I drop dead here, no one will find me for a long time. I used to make friends left and right. Why is it so hard to meet decent people? Everyone I meet now is toxic and uses me.

Now that they know I'm about to become a published author, the toxic people and users think I'm going to come into a lot of money and suddenly want to be my friend again, but trust me, these people are not friend material. Not even close.

Sign of the times maybe. There is a lot of great people around where I live. But yeah there are areas I can’t even imagine

you obviously live in a bad area. hang out somewhere else

I recommend moving out of that place once you can and have a fresh start.

I think I made a mistake coming here for sure. Back at my other home, it wasn't safe, my narcissistic hand kept putting me in danger. I wish it was safe to go back there. I'm so homesick

Who is your biggest inspiration?
What inspires you?

I used to have this friend, her name was Junie. She would leave me little notes all the time, saying nice things. She wrote me the lyrics to Mariah Carey's song Hero and told me to listen to that song when I feel like giving up. She was a good inspiration.
