Sometimes I have trouble with getting responses back to my emails from my friends and it bothers me. I never send more than one or maybe two emails at a time to people. I start to panic a bit when I don't hear from people that I have normally heard back from in over a week or more.

Does this ever happen to anyone else? Recently I wonder if I put a few friends off who I've only known about a year or less by telling them that we might loose our house soon. I have mostly kept things superficial and light with them most of the time. Only one of those friends know about my depression and family issues.

I didn't even tell one friend about a DUI from years ago until a few months ago and she seemed OK with it. Not to long ago this same friend has issues with a first time seizure. Because of that she can't drive for now. I offered to pick her up at her place and drop her off when we go out since we live fairly close by. The last time I met her, she didn't want to burden me to much, so she had her husband drop her off at the movies. I drove her home.

She has invited me out to a fair not to long ago. I normally hear back from her every few days, but since I mentioned that we might loose our house, I have not heard back from her which is odd. Did I make a mistake in opening up to much when she's dealing with health issues? She was taking care of her sick mom to before this happened as well.

I was told that most people don't want to hear about other peoples problems most of the time. One other friend tried to help me out, and I thanked her for listening, but I continued to talk about that and how my family isn't doing a thing to help me since they don't care about me. I should've never ever mentioned that, ugh! Since then I haven't heard from her. It hasn't been that long, but I'm starting to think that I'm being ignored since I "overshared" to much with her, idk.

Maybe these friends are OK with venting to me, but they would rather not hear about my problems that much? Is there anyway to tell when people are truly not interested in hearing about someone's problems sooner rather than later when they don't say anything about it? I'm not good at reading people usually until they start giving me the silent treatment.

I looked up information about why some people take awhile to respond to emails at times and most sites said the same thing, people will make time for you when they want to talk to you. When they don't, they won't. It's possible that they've been really busy lately, but their sudden change in behavior is a bit odd. I feel like I'm being ignored.

Am I just worrying to much, or is it possible that I scared them off by needing them much more than they need me? Honestly, I think it's a bit cold to ignore someone after they tell you that they might loose their house soon. It's not like I just met these people. Like I said, I knew all three women for a year at least, so this baffles me a bit.
