I thought she cared Another friend (NOT from pc) who has abandoned me recently. Nothing, just silence. And I learnt so many years ago what silence means. It means I'm not worth caring about.

I've come to think of people like I do breathing. They come into my life and then they float out of my life. It doesn't make me unlovable and it doesn't make you any less than the wonderful person you are.

When ever that has happened to me, I always wonder if I give off this GO AWAY vibe.

((((((( Fuzzybear! )))))))



I have ONE flesh-and-blood friend out of all the acquaintances I had for three-quarters of my life who still keeps in regular contact with me. If he were to go silent, I'd suspect serious illness or death.

So, I have to ask, is this now-silent friend of yours OK?

Even as I cannot reach into my own mind and exorcise depression, neither I nor my words are able to get into the depths of your psyche and uproot the sense of worthlessness planted so long ago.

Nevertheless, no amount of silence from any quarter can diminish you, dear Fuzzybear.

Hi Fuzzy, I'm really sorry that you're feeling abandoned
Then I'd completely agree with Rohag as well, might it be possible that they've got some problems going on themselves??? Maybe even be problems that they haven't wanted to "worry" you about???
Perhaps worth checking in with them, or if you can't even leaving a message for them to contact you when they can............then if they just need some space (from people) they'll know you're still thinking about them, and hopefully get back to you when they can.
But then, if it does turn out that they've just "walked away" from you, that doesn't need to mean that you're not worth caring about. Not in the slightest!!!
You know, so many of us on here care about you, right?? Because we do!!! So don't you forget that!!!

Hi Fuzzy,
You deserve caring and love.
As Rohag said, maybe your friend is having a hard time.
I have been disappointed by some people lastly and it still hurts. It really hurts.
I am sending you a big hug

Is that really true? How do you know for sure that that is what it really means?

You deserve better. I too have had the silent treatment from friends and I would try and try make the effort
I cried a lot of tears over it. Rejection is hard to accept.
You've got us here.
