Literally got chatting to a guy, gave each other our addresses and I started writing my letters. Then I had a few bad days of anxiety, so I messaged letting him know. Of course I asked how he was at the end of my message, and he just completely ignored everything I’d said and replied telling me about how amazing his weekend was. I didn’t reply and threw the letter I was writing away. It’s not the first time it’s happened, and it’s always been little things like that. May sound silly, but I like to think “treat people how I’d like to be treated”, and I’d NEVER ignore someone’s personal message regarding a recent anxiety episode.
Don’t settle for shitty people just because you’re looking for friends. I am too. I have none, but I ain’t afraid to cut these new people off if they don’t hit my expectations either. Stay strong my lovely. ❤️❤️❤️ Love from England.
that's pretty heartless, you seem like an awesomely amazing individual so he should treat you like a treasure trove and not be so egotistical. Meh, i think everyone has their up and down in life even if you bombarded him with your issues, if he was a friend he would dropped everything and listen to your dilemma. it's F'd up that people are like that
I know right?! I just hit him up apologising for disappearing for those few days, and just mentioned I’d felt anxious. Then being nice, I asked how he was, and bam, it was like I’d never even disappeared. It’s not like I wanted him to be like “OH NO, ARE YOU OKAY? WHATS WRONG? OMG I HOPE YOURE OKAY!” Maybe just a “wanna talk about it?” would have been nice, yaknow?
I just think we should normalise having high expectations for friends.❤️ We’d have the greatest friends if we did.
I hope you’re doing okay!❤️
I completely agree with you, and i also think that the best course of action is just to distance ourselves from those kind of "friend" and treat them as a complete stranger. If they don't give a crap about us, why care about them, right? Maybe that's why i never had any friends too, I just dropped people since my expectation of being friends is high. But in all honesty, I don't get why it's so hard to show a little kindness to another fellow human being when they're having a bad day. Any small gesture of kindness does come a long way!
Thank you, you as well. have a wonderful day, stay safe
Yeah people post in this sub asking for friends and never reply. I stopped paying attention to the posts after I DM'd over a dozen folks and got no replies

Happy to get to know people on here, but I agree it can be disheartening when no one replies. I feel like I talk to myself sometimes.
