/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Fuck greentexting on mobile.

>go to a bunch of cons the last few months
>run a big events with guests and stuff that everyone wants to meet at the beginning of con season
>tolerate a few close friends being obnoxious neck beards to guests as courtesy to them
>lend my biling skills where I can for my friends
>later they start rumors to con staff about drug use and I have to sort that nightmare out
>platinum mad, confront, they apologize and say they wanna be besties
>later events come up
>everyone forgets me except when they need someone who can biling
>one instance I was actually having a decent conversation with a guest after a q&a event in nippongo, we are gushing over a shared interest
>'friend' pushes me out of the way mid-sentence to shove a business card in guest's face and cut me off and kill our conversation
>feeling kinda used and sad, they aren't really making an effort to see me at events and I pulled a lot of strings for them to meet people at other events so...
>con season winding down for me, last one here we go!!
>get the typical "let me know when you get here" texts, when I respond they drop off the face of the earth
>name dropping in public spaces, avoiding me, hiding meeting times from me, have a "secret code" for a meet up they try to poorly hide but I knew what was going on
>try to hide from them because I can tell when I'm not wanted and tbh tired of being the last minute translator when the other guy got too wasted to do it
>crying in bed because I thought I finally had friends who shared my interests but realizing they're all just users

It hurts and I feel more alone than when I didn't have IRL friends.
