Someone I love nearly died a week ago from today. I had a person that I developed a friendship with the past year and a half. They helped me out a lot, and quite honestly they surprised me. But when I was in the emergency room and I called them and texted them that I needed them I got no answer. They never bothered to see how I was doing or what had happened. But they had the time to get on social media but couldn’t bother to reply to me. I almost lost someone I loved and I was alone there was no one there. I can’t say I’m all that upset, maybe mad but quite honestly I just feel annoyed because this is so typical. I’m done, they can go fuck themselves. I always was reaching out and pushing to hang out and calling and texting and I’m just done.

People don’t like it when you seem needy. That tends to push them away. Stay casual. Don’t give anyone the impression that you’ll lose it if they don’t respond to you. You don’t know what may be happening on their end, after all. Learn how to be alone so that you can handle it if you end up in situations like this. I was alone for almost a week this past summer, no one called or texted or messaged me and I didn’t speak with anyone face to face, but I got through it, and I didn’t ditch my friends just because they weren’t available for me at that time. (We reconnected later.)
I’m sorry for your loss. I’m also sorry you got let down by a friend when you really needed them. It might be that they just didn’t check your messages, but if this is typical and you know they were deliberately ignoring you, then I think you’re making a good decision by distancing yourself from them. You clearly can’t rely on them.
I think what raza said about learning how to be alone is important, but that person could also have handled things differently. I hope the problems you’re having with this person don’t make this a more difficult time. I hope you can talk to others about it if you can’t talk to them.
