Are friends just supposed to be like a TV? You talk to them when it’s convenient for you and you can’t think of something else to do?
I’ve just realized all the people I thought were my friends only talk to me on their schedule, when they feel like it. I’m left on read for days, meetings are ignored, text message conversations just end abruptly until they get back from vacation…
Is this it? Is this what friendship is? Because I don’t want it. I don’t want to feel like I have people to rely on only to find out that I’m just a convenience for people.
You need better friends. True friends help you out and support you. They give you someone to talk to about things that plague you, and someone to share successes with. Get a group of friends together and you get community- which is something that is sorely missing in this world.
There’s a certain mindset needed to build community, but I’m not sure how to describe it
