I lost my grandfather four years ago.

My grandfathers both died in their late 60s (this was over 20 years ago because I’m old).

Somehow both my grandmothers are still kicking around at 94 years old each.

JEDIT: This math seems off a bit but I’m lazy.

Same, except one of my grandmothers passed away last year.

Same (except this timeframe meant I never really knew my grandfathers).

Condolences Collipso.

Only family funeral I’ve been to was my grandmother’s. There never feels like a sufficient way to express condolences. My own experience with death was it felt like there was a room that was always open but now is forever shut. Just doesn’t make sense for someone to be gone.

My grandma is probably going to pass in the next couple of years.

My grandfather passed away last year. I never met my dad’s parents.

My paternal grandfather passed away in 2014 of cancer. I wrote and read out a poem at his funeral and broke down in tears midway. How embarrassing.

Hope you’re all doing well as to be expected.

My greatest sorrow is having never met my paternal grandfather. By all accounts one of the kindest souls to ever walk the earth. I wonder sometimes what would be worse, having the memories and knowing there will be no more, or never having had those experiences to begin with and left wondering what it would have been like. Cherish those memories Collipso and may he rest in peace.

I’m pretty sure I’m still in love with my friend.

I know the feeling, my friend…

I knew there was something with you two.

In all seriousness I know the feeling as well. It’s rough. You need to tell her how you feel, exactly, and if she doesn’t feel the same then you need to break away. A tortured existence isn’t any good for anybody.

I know she doesn’t feel the same way. I can’t break away, because then I wouldn’t have any friends – she’s in my social circle.

Oof… Now that’s a rough spot. I was also in that spot once. Sadly I’m not in contact with any of them anymore but I have new friends.

She’s actually in both of my social circles… My old friends and my new friends.

“Sometimes you make me feel like I’m just a nuisance.”
“That was not the intent [insert random facts].”

Possibly one of the worst responses I’ve ever received? No, “You are not a nuisance”, or a simple “I value your friendship”. I should stop caring.

To be brutally honest, when people come across as seeking reassurance or otherwise sounding like a victim, that can be extraordinarily annoying. If they perceive you as a nuisance, asking them about it can’t yield anything good. And if they don’t, then there’s no reason to ask.

Hope you find people that naturally show you the friendship you desire.
