I actually feel better already, and I’m telling myself that I need to take this response with this friend more often. Before I would’ve felt guilty but not anymore. |
Sorry to hear that. That person isn’t your real friend, sorry. Did they need you to listen to them? Did they need something from you?
Stop making time for & chasing after people who don’t intiate plans with you.
One sided friendships suck. I give up quickly on most people who don’t try to intiate plans or who never or rarely contact me anymore.
I don’t understand people like that. It’s like they keep you around just in case you might end up being useful to them eventually.
To me, those kind of people aren’t friends. I don’t know even bother keeping them as aquaintences anymore.
I’ve had similar experiences to both you & nonightowl. I’m on the verge of giving up on even trying to make any new friends from now on as most people seem to be pretty selfish & self absorbed.
