| Heartbreaking reality I was bedridden for four days and has just recovered from it and here I am again feeling down and blue. The reason, my friends can't even take time to visit me when I am in need of their company. You see I live alone and although I appreciate when mom drove all the while across the state, I can't help but to feel disappointed to my friends whom I know is just an hour drive away from my apartment. I messaged them that was bedridden but they can't even make it here. The worst part of it is that they don't even respond to my message at all. I just felt disappointed and frustrated at them. |
| "Rest For Now "
If I were into your situation, I would surely feel the same way, probably much worst. But well, you were sick and you need to be resting for full recovery. Instead of getting yourself down and sad, better try to focus on your rehabilitation. There probably are reasons why your friends did not make it to your apartment to see if you are ok. The best thing to do is to ask them why. |
| "Try to understand"
I somewhat understand your pain but you also must give them the benefit of doubt. What if they didn't receive the message you sent them? Maybe they're out of the country or their phone was out when you messaged them? What if in some way, they were similarly busy and can't really drop their current responsibilities or commitment?Their biggest mistake would probably be the failure to explain why they weren't able to make it if ever they did receive your message. But still, try to understand. |
| "Try To Be Well "
Being sick, you probably got too emotional with your friends not able to be there in times when you need their company. You must have had a hard time dealing with such emotions. But you know what, instead of making yourself more upset, why not just try to relax, do everything to be well and when the time comes that you are fine already, then do the talking with them. Make them pay for letting you down! |
| "Oh grow up"
Everyone has their own lives to pursue. Knowing that they are just your friends, you should already understand that you are not their number one priority, especially if they have their own families and career to take care of. You should learn to find the light on the darkest of times. never rely your happiness on somebody, not unless you are married to that partner, a loving family member, or a parent as they are the usual exemptions. As for friends, you should learn to understand them. Grow up as if you continue with that attitude, you would only be hurting yourself in the process. |
