Setting Boundaries with Friends Who Pressure Me to Do Drugs

I know it’s hard to lose friends but honestly think your mental health would benefit greatly from leaving that friend group. It sounds like they don’t truly care enough about you to change anything they are saying or doing and are continuously hurting you. Overtime that’s really going to cause some damage, I’m sure it already has hurt a lot. I had a similar thing with friend groups wanting to do those things and I found that when I stopped being in contact with those people it was a weight off my shoulders. And if you ever get lonely in the process of finding new friends or want to talk to anyone about any of this, you can always send me a message and I can try my best to help!

I understand the having trouble with boundaries as I myself struggle with that. But for the rest of it if they 1) don’t respect you, 2) don’t keep your secrets, and 3) lie to you then they are NOT your friends. Even if you are not very verbal about not being comfortable talking about/being around drugs, the fact that they know what you’ve dealt with should be enough to make any decent person second guess bringing it up/doing them around you. ESPECIALLY someone you consider a good friend. You may love them, but it doesn’t sound like they love you. And even if they do, that’s not always enough. If they are not good for you, as scary as it is, you need to cut them off or at the very least keep them at a distance if you can’t put up and actually withhold the boundaries you need. And always remember, setting and keeping boundaries for yourself does NOT make you a bad person. It means you are taking a step towards loving and caring for yourself.

kinda don't sound like friends ngl

If they don't respect your boundaries, they don't respect you. Boundaries are not for other people. Boundaries exists so that you know which people not to bother with.
