@heartsupport this song has hit way too close to home. I’ve tried to reach out to my brothers, my friends, they mention being worried, but it’s been weeks since they reached out.
I can imagine how difficult it must be right now. It’s really tough when you pour your heart out or share something deeply personal, and the response you hope for just doesn’t come through. It feels like you’re reaching out into a void, especially when it’s from those you count on the most. You would expect a different response from them, a sign that would show you also that they don’t forget what you share weeks ago. It hurts when this sign doesn’t come your way.
Feeling like your friends aren’t as present as you need them to be can be incredibly isolating. Even making you feel like somehow they might not really care about you. It’s understandable to feel hurt and disappointed when the support you expect isn’t there when you need it most. It’s okay to feel frustrated by their silence and to wonder why they haven’t reached out too.
Of course, their silence might not mean they don’t care, but it’s definitely hard to see it when you are left hanging in your own pain. People can get caught up in their own lives and sometimes don’t realize how much we need them right now, even when we tried to really convey it to them the right way.
I hope you’ll receive some answers soon and have the possibility to experience firsthand that you do have a support system there. You did well by reaching out in the first place, and if you ever want to reach out again to them, then that would be okay as well. Asking for help, even sometimes insisting for it, is not something to ever feel ashamed of. On the contrary, it is a beautiful mark of trust but to let others enter your own world.
No matter what, your feelings are valid, and you deserve to have someone in your corner. Sometimes it is the people closest to us, sometmies it’s not the ones we expected, and sometimes it’s a combination of both. Rest assured that you do have a place right here where people care. You are not alone.
Sending hugs your way.
