And online friends... Facebook! Ugh! People are notorious for finding "friends" on there when they're.....bored.....and then when life picks up, they drop their online friends like a hot potato. I gave up on Facebook. I've tried to reach out to people and they've been non-responsive. I've had other online friends who stop messaging when they suddenly have other (better) things to do. I don't call that friendship. Yeah, I know that people need to be free to live their own lives, but at the same time, if a friend is ignoring you (for an extended period of time), is that person really a friend? Maybe this sounds harsh, but given my disorder (PTSD), I am prone to shut-downs. I've learned that when I shut down, I OWE it to people to let them know I'm not doing well. I mean how hard is it to text those few words? I honestly think that if I can't do the very basics, then I'm not strong enough to even have friends because its NOT fair to leave other people hanging like that.
