"Going through a mental crisis" doesn't necessarily mean that you're treating your friends like shit. If you treat your friends like shit, and that drives them away, whose fault is that?

There are, of course, exceptions, but those have to be people whom I care for and love very, very much. And even then, if the toxicity is too damaging to my own mental health, I have to cut them off for my own good. At the end of the day, all human relations rely on a cost/benefit analysis. If I'm losing more than I'm gaining from this relationship, why should I continue it?

I also don't think you're doing that person any favors by ignoring their bad behavior.

Textbook description of narcissism.

Relationships are like bank accounts. If there is an imbalance there is going to hard feelings from one side. Accepting a bad deal leads to someone being a victim or worst forcing others to suffer by choices they didn't make. It's not narcissistic to leave a cheating/inattentive partner.

No, it's not.

Relationships are like bank accounts... Accepting a bad deal...

But that is.

Not seeing a difference. Relationships are give and take. Keep in mind equal value can mean anything to anybody. There is no look at my chart and this applies to everyone. Example: If a parent is not feeding, proving finances, good company, and is not even good for emotional support why bother? All they are doing is sandbagging you. Proving nothing of value is not balancing the books especially if your life is better without them.
