I agree actually and I'd also say people sometimes tend to jump to the most simplistic conclusions about that for reasons that don't seem so genuine to me
I see people say "drop him" and, like I think it depends...We don't know these people as well as we like to think at the end of the day most of us wouldn't drop someone we knew for such a long time, especially when we (seems at least) met them in our hardest moments and are so attached to them so idk why people expect him to do it. Also i'd add that's even harder for him cuz who can he talk to and be so freely with when he can't even find new people that he can trust
I'm bambling at this point, but I always see people talk about their private life, family, friends, but they always talk about it like it's some kind of free entertainment and not someone's actual life
It's kinda like when you have a friend who's in a toxic relationship and from your perspective you can't fathom why they wouldn't leave that person but to them it's somehow a safe thing they can't let go of
