I’ve significantly reduced my orbiting of my female friends, but I still treat them with basic normal genuine mutual respect

However it seems that they’ve stopped inviting me to pre game, which may be because I withdrew as soon as I realised that I was just being used for validation and wasn’t gonna get a shred of pussy from any of my female friends or their friends. I just realised how pathetic the situation I was in and I withdrew to maintain my self respect

My female friends seem to notice this but still want to interact with me, however they don’t seem to push for getting validation out of me anymore.

Part of my old self was seeking validation through female attention and being their centre of attention, now it seems like there is a void that has to be filled?

I feel like I was being used as their narcissistic supply, while admittedly I was using them for it as well? I just want to remain friends on the terms that I am my genuine self rather than a facade they want me to be?
