I'm really sorry things are tough.


Perhaps you are seeing things clearly, regarding your friends being less attentive than you hoped. But it might not necessarily be as negative as it appears.


When I was in a different country earlier this year, I felt as though the local people were behaving oddly towards me. Travelling is challenging! Towards the end, I was able to see that the people there were just being themselves. It was a town that spoke little English, and the locals just had different mannerisms and so on.


So, I was right. But there were other factors and I shouldn't have taken it personally.


Hard to say, when one's in a sensitised state.


Take care.


Youre so lovely and interesting, I can't imagine that your friends are deliberately letting you down.


Keep asking clearly for what you need.


A friend won't mind.


Hang in there. I really believe that things will get better.


Thank you for those kind words. I do agree that my perception has been distorted. I’ve wondered whether I’m trusting the wrong people or whether there’s just more to the story than I realize, like you said, and it has nothing to do with me. I did have one person say to me recently that I always have everything “together” in my life which is not at all how I feel. Yes, I am in a very sensitized state and things are not all adding up for me at the moment.
