I don’t think that COVID is the issue. People have always been fickle & flaky like thus! Inthinknthat once people don’t need you anymore, they toss you aside as if you were nothing but trash to them.
Be careful next time & pay attention to actions, not words. If they never ask about you, then that is a huge red flag. So is flakiness. And having a lot of issues with people usually that is never their fault.

What does afs mean?
I don’t mean Covid is the reason but I believe it exacerbated existing flakiness!
I have paid attention to actions and still got burned. And just cause someone asks about me didn’t mean it was sincere. It was out of politeness or they weren’t accepting of what I felt about events or minimized things. I had one former “friend” say I “just have to believe everything will work out”. I’m sure it was to end an uncomfortable conversation and no true friend would do that. Through thick and thin as the saying goes. I’m sick of fair weather friends and toxic positivity too.
Still I can’t be someone I’m not. I do have boundaries I didn’t before but won’t stop being kind. There is enough meanness out there.
I am telling a Girl Scout I’ve been writing to that if it’s okay if she’s not into writing anymore. It took her over a year to write back so I can’t be much of a priority. But I enjoy it enough to at least see if she prefers texting like many young people do. I also said I hope to get a reply sooner than a year and to let me know either way…she wants to continue or not.
