Btw you mentioned here, that sometimes they may actually care yet not prioritise. To me the two are mutually exclusive....if you care, you prioritise, if you prioritise, you care. If someone is self-absorbed, then by definition they cannot care about others nor prioritise others.

The thing is that you can care but have other things that become a higher priority. I have/had a friend who I still care about BUT I had a sick horse that had my priority for months & no energy for anything else even after I had to have her put to sleep, I had so many things I had to take care of for months after that. No time to even fit her into my priorities. Sometimes things aren't as mutually exclusive as we think they are. Sometimes paths diverge at times like that & a good time to actually reassess the relationship. Nothing is forever
