It's their loss, not yours. You'd really do better with new friends who listen as well as speak, bullshit in equal measures at least.
Guys go through the same thing too... dunno why the term 'pussy whipped' comes to mind, seems like an obsolete phrase these days. Anyway it's late here, hence the pontification.

Congrats for being in your right mind, it's not the sword, but the guy behind the sword... also kinda sounds like some of the 'big fish' stories you've been told, have been embellished (aka: bullshit).

I honestly don't even care about the boyfriend thing. I'm aromantic as shit so relationships don't appeal to me, and household objects can fill the role of a man for me in a heartbeat. I'm more bugged that I'm a third wheel to friends I've had for ten years cause they can't take their heads out of their fuckboy's asses long enough to talk to me when I'm feeling down
