I thought I had a friend who would support me through this rough time, but I was wrong. That person has ghosted me after everything I've done for them.
I'm so sorry to hear that and I can relate I think. You definitely
need a friend now!
I don't understand these "Sunshine Friends" - who are beside you when things go well but when bad time comes they're gone. I'm quite the opposite - I tend to be by people who suffer intensely, and when they recover they ghost me. My nickname has been "a therapist," and they tend to appreciate me when they want a shoulder to cry on, but when it's over I'm just a boring person.
People like me who are empaths are screwed.
I don't think I'm an empath but I'm screwed, too. People tend to exploit me, so I rarely trust anybody.
I thought I could find a friend only in a psych ward, so I was amazed how caring and friendly people are on this forum. Sadly, users here tend to go quickly, and some of them CTB. I'm just loitering on this Eternal Shore, the last place I can stay...
