I Am Done With One Sided Friendships

No one ever check on me to see if im okay, except my mom and 2 sisters. I wish I could just drop dead.

I woke up to this realisation that no one gives a damn about me. Not my cousins, friends and ppl I've met. I check on them. Sometimes I say hi, Wassup. They rarely say lets meet up. Every time I text they do responds.

I feel like im a crap friend (a new mate once told me that) and no one likes me. My son once told me that years ago. Cousins and friends keeps in touch with my sister and not me. It hurts. Alot.

You have yourself, and that's the best friend ever. Really, you are one of a kind, enjoy yourself, be nice to you, be friends with you. In the end, we are all alone, and it's not such a horrible place to be.

True but everyone do need friends to live well. We all do. @frequentlyme

I suppose that is true, in one fashion or another, it does feel good to have a friend. I guess what I'm getting at is the "need" part. Need versus it feels nice. Yes, it feels nice/good/warm/affirming to have a friend recognize you; but and this is just me, needing it to feel good isn't healthy. Imagine if you didn't need it... if you didn't, then you wouldn't feel sad/depressed/upset (you pick which) when you didn't. Just my thoughts, and of course, we all feel differently.

I def understands what you mean and so agree with you. We cant rely on ppl to make us feel good. No thats using them. We have friends because we like them. They make a difference in our lives.

I like my friends, well only one is a good one. @frequentlyme and one other mate gets on my damn nerves so altho I am still in touch with her, I don't hang out with her.

You've given me food for thoughts. You've actually helped me understand fiendship . Thank you.
