I tried this with a group of girls I used to consider my best friends. I stopped reaching out and now haven't talked to them since last summer.
I think people have just become more isolated or busy since COVID the world just lost how to connect and social media is making us not to want to pick up the phone regularly to speak or even send a regular text or meet up. I think this is happening to many people
I have this with a friend. I've been trying to see her for over a year. She rarely reaches out to me, and from what she does say in messages, she is struggling, which I can empathise with but I feel totally shut out by her. I'm at the point of giving up but I really miss her. It's so tough knowing what to do
It broke my heart to keep wondering about friends who I stopped contacting because it was soo one sided. You gotta move on and just try to find other friends and/or be happy by yourself
@Michelle usually I would absolutely agree, the effects of COVID are still impacting a lot of us even now. However this has appeared to only become an issue since having my child last year 😔
@Heidi @Lisa this is heartbreaking to hear, I’m so sorry. Strangely though, it’s also comforting to know I’m not alone in my feelings and experiences here
You’re absolutely not alone. I’ve lost many friends and it’s really shattered me x
Think of it this way if they aren't thinking of you then you shouldn't be think of them that's my personal opinion
