Good friends don’t avoid friends when they are having a hard time.
I cut myself off from everybody last week, due to circumstances that made me realize they’re not all good friends, telling anyone who wants to talk to me, feel free to and I’ll be more than happy, and nobody has. I have to make the effort to talk to anyone, and it’s draining as hell that I don’t get anything back from it. Everyone is all busy with their own things, and I’m once again a bystander.
Yep, that all sounds very similar to my situation, though I haven’t announced my withdrawal from social life to anyone. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone tries to contact me during this time, but past experience tells me no one will unless they want a favor.
