Aw, this sounds like it might’ve come from something recent - I hope you’re okay. I hope things get better for you soon, man. Friend dynamics can get tricky when communication styles don’t match up, and I think it can be pretty easy for both sides to feel misunderstood. I think it’s just about finding people whose pace and rhythm (in terms of checking in and spending time together) feels like a more natural fit. 🤙

I feel this. I have a friend who ghosted me out of nowhere starting in May. Tried texting them multiple times since then, asking if I’ve done something to offend them, tried calling them… nothing. Idk if they’ll ever come back but yeah I don’t think we are friends anymore. Hurt bad.

Nah, I’m just awkward in my phrasing and in general. 😭 I’ve been told I’m robotic in person too, unfortunately. 🤙 Regardless, I still hope OP finds friends that do check in often enough to feel cared for. That’s a rough situation. :/

I will say, it’s low-key such a bummer that writing more than a sentence immediately earns accusations of being a bot. 🥲 I’m just verbose and bad at being brief, like damn. Maybe you have some thoughts to help out OP? It’s sounding like my dumb ass hasn’t been too helpful. 😭
