I’ve been in a sad place for awhile and one of my friends text me seeing if I was around. I responded and said yeah but not doing too well and asked if they’d like to meet up? And I asked how they were doing.

Their response was that they’re busy. No acknowledgement of my well-being.

The brief conversation continued later in the evening and I brought it up again as I was crying in bed. I said I was going through something, sad, lonely, crying for days, in my head a lot and not sure what’s wrong…. Their response again had absolutely nothing to do with my feelings just about their weekend plans.. completely ignored.

It’s just heartbreaking because I’m always checking in on them and they’re always venting to me and I’m always there to listen, support, offer advice if needed, be there, I’d show up at any hour to help… and to not even be acknowledged just makes the pain so much worse. All I wanted was a “sorry you’re going through that hope you feel better.”

So sad, I guess some people are just built differently. I can’t expect the care I give to be given back.
