>>115137Don't be naive but have some nuance. If you start thinking all men are evil, that's all you're gonna see in your environment. I firmly believe that by having that mindset you're gonna attract more evil men into your life.
But you also can't go around thinking all men are acting in your best interest. It's just not true but you already had to learn that the hard way.
>Should I just give up???You should be fine with living on your own. Being alone is still 1000x better than being with some shitty scrote who doesn't treat you right, while you pour your everything into him.
But don't give up on men overall yet. Good men exist, men who will treat you with respect and show you love. Just make sure to not settle for anything less than that. Trust me, being alone is still better than being with a scrote who treats you badly.
Also I'm so sorry about your friends. Must be frustrating to have that happening to you.
