Absolutely. I'vE ignored all calls and messages from all my friends who love me for at least 4 months now. In my head I think I'm making it easier for them when I ctb so they can get used to not hearing from me when in reality all I'm doing is making them worry more. I can't even bring myself to lie to them and say "I'm okay" because i know that would be a fabrication to what I truly feel. I just hope they know I still think about them and miss them dearly
I have a few circles of friends I have been ignoring like this for a year and a half now. It still hurts. I still want to reach out to them, but all I can think of to say is "im sorry, you dont deserve me, Im an asshole" and who wants to hear that? So I just don't respond to their attempts to reach me...one of these days I know I will reconnect, at least with some, I just feel like I need to feel good about myself first, like I have myself partially together enough to actually share something meaningful with them again...
Does anyone else find that people caring about you does not bring any happiness or relief, but just hurts instead? It feels like when people care about me, all i can think of is how i will waste that care when i eventually ctb and i wish no one did so no one would be "hurt" by it at all. It makes me want to destroy all relationships i have so it would be so much easier for me and those who know me.
The question is, what hurts more? The pain of being alive, or the pain of saying goodbye? For me, it is the latter, and this is why I am still alive. As a result, I am actually choosing to live, and this helps me move forward.
May you find the answers you seek.
