Fake friends
Have you guys ever had a fake friend? Well, here's my experience.
I went through some mental health stuff and ended up dropping out of school for a bit. My friends were supportive in their own way, but never really asked why. I didn't mind that, it's not really their job to fix me.
One day I was kinda struggling and at a point where I just wanted to die, and I told one of them. First time I'd ever opened up like that. She said she'd pray for me and left me on delivered. After that I just kind of stopped venting to her.
My other friend already knew I was struggling, she'd give advice but nothing I hadn't already heard before, and she used to stick up for me when people talked crap, so I did appreciate her. But after I dropped out, we just naturally drifted, calls got less frequent, texts got shorter. I know she was busy with school too, so it wasn't all on her.
When I’d ask to hang out, they’d say they were busy but then post them hanging out with other friends on their story. They also never came to my birthdays, they said they were busy but again, I saw them posted up with other friends. They'd also talked crap about me before, multiple times actually. It used to bother me a lot, but after a while I just kind of got used to it.
Now that I've graduated, it feels like we've drifted even more. And it's a little awkward since we still live in the same town and run into each other sometimes.
Anyway, are my friends fake, or am I just reading into it too much? And did you ever have fake friends? What was your experience with them like.
