it mattered enough for you to be disappointed. It mattered enough for you to mention it here.
Friends, even the best of them, have life events that happen, they mix up the dates, emergencies, or they plain ol’ forget what they said. When something happens like this, it’s best to ask directly what happened. No-one can read our minds, nor we read theirs.
Being friends means being vulnerable with your emotions up to a point. @Mystrose had a great post you could use word for word! Speak up for yourself, let them know you were disappointed. if they had forgotten, then use the opportunity to reschedule another date and time for a call.
and do you feel better about it now? have these additional facts made you think about things differently?
We are sometimes willling to believe bad things about ourselves when we’re disappointed, and so we have to make sure that we counter-act this when we realize it wasn’t a fault of our, or a rejection.
have you ever done any sort of thing that can help boost your self confidence and self esteem?
if we feel peppier about ourselves, it tends to be spill over to other aspects of our lives.
Hi lonelyfreak
It can be very dissapointing when we are looking forward to something and it does not happen, and on ones birthday it is especially hurtful. I have felt like this several times. It can be very demotivating. It seems like your friend had something unexpected come up. It happends but I understand that it might not make things much better. I think you deserve to have people who care about you. You might think that you are unloveable but that is not true. You absolutely are.
