I agree.

It has been a painful lesson for me, but i learned when someone treats you like they don’t care, they really don’t care. I cared more for them, and assumed they felt that for me, but it turns out they didn’t. I just didn’t know it until they didn’t care, which hit me like a ton of bricks. They weren’t friends, acquaintances, coworkers. They were the closest to me, whom I had always had what I thought was the best of relationships, then they turned on a dime and said it was over something petty they trumped up against me, and that I was the ‘villain’.

There was nothing toxic about those relationships until they completely fall apart over nothing. Plus, these people knew I had emotional issues and were intentionally cruel anyway. Sorry for the vent about me, still shocked, but coping.

I’ve also experienced the friendships or other lesser relationships where one simply cares more about the other. I’m sure I’ve been on both ends of it, too. That’s just life. I think I handled it gracefully and never showed I was upset about it to the other person who liked me less. I’ve had close friends dump me for new friends, though we also had a great relationship. They simply met someone they preferred to spend their time with. So did boyfriends. It hurt, but I never confronted them. I think that would have hurt more when they might have in turn, made the dumping even more hurtful.
