We ran a small X Poll on our X account @TheEverydayBrit on the 13th November 2025.
We asked targeted individuals whether they had lost existing friends and if they had acquired any false new friends.
28 people responded out of which 27 (or 96.5%) stated they had lost existing friends, whilst 20 (71.5%) stated they had acquired false new friends.
Over time, I have seen several people online say how they have lost existing friends as existing friendships have been soured and have been turned against them.
Likewise, I have seen several people say how they can no longer trust new friendships as when they have let new people in to their life the new people often have ingenuine purposes and can often transpire to be part of the harassment towards them.
Many have stated how "Zersetzung" - synonymous with the decomposition of someone's character and reputation within the community - is still alive and well. Indeed, recently we asked ChatGpt to tell us about what Zersetzung was and how it continues in Western Europe today.
We hope you still have someone or some people in your life who are your friends, who treat you well and nicely and are trustworthy and genuine.
There are also several groups / forums etc for TI's. However, I am not a member of any of these forums myself so I can't provide any advice to you in relation to them, their usefulness or their legitimacy / validity.
One thing that has helped me personally is the process of self-empowerment and the importance of developing one's own routine within everyday / daily life. You can read more about this in my post here - Your Daily Routine Matters.
