I Have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

No one gives a damn about anyone.
Everyone, people you know, agencies, friends, family.
Everyone always says:
I'm here for you.
Just reach out.
I'm here to listen.
Etc....
Then they completly ignore, and avoid you at all cost when you do reach out.
The only reason they do end up helping/being there for / with anything
Is because...

1. They are getting paied to do so

2. They are getting or wanting to get something out of the situation.

3. They have a audience, that they are trying to look good for.

4. They need to check off their "good deed" for the day/week/month/year.

5. They need something to disscuss, and brag about to theur social circle.

6. They need to do something, so they can post it all over social media. To get patted on the back. The "Look what I did Syndrome"

Situationsloth: I am going through a situation now and feel the same way. I have one friend who is only interested in being in dating websites and talking to companion, the other one is dealing with something of her own. But when they needed someone to talk to they came to me and did all their venting and said that they did not have anyone else to talk to but me. When I needed someone to talk to or need someone to vent to now they are not available. It is like no one want to hear me but I always lend an ear. I feel so lost and overwhelmed with the daily stress that is happening in my life today. I am so stressed out and overwhelmed that I feel that I am losing my mind. I hate when others seem so happy like they do not have a problem in the world and I am being so immature in dealing with my problems. I do agree with the list you have especially number 1-They are getting paid to listen to you.
