Well I had surgery almost two weeks ago. The people who were supposedly my friends just texted for the first time. One of them needs me to help with something. Naturally, I'm getting all these texts acting normal. I've been ignoring them, so they keep sending more of these fake clueless texts. "Is everything OK?" This is why I don't have many friendships. I always feel used. They come to me with their problems and I'm the kind of friend who always comes through, but I can't rely on anyone else.
@blindbob Hi there. I hope your post-surgery recovery is going well.
Surgery is almost always a big deal, so I completely understand why you're feeling hurt after going two weeks without a single check in from your friends. I think I would feel a bit hurt too.
@MrsAshleyMarie The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that they didn't really consider me as good a friend as I once thought. I used to try talking things out with people, but I've found that it doesn't seem to help. People just get defensive automatically. So now I just respond to like with like.
