    I have a question. This has happened to me with two different people. It's about sending an email to someone with a couple of nice photos of attached of family or a pet or whatever just in a friendly way and having the other person respond back to the email but completely ignore the photos. And I'm sure the photos went through. One person I said, "did you get the photo?" and she said no! So I resent it and got no response again. Another person, a friend, i recently sent three photos, one of myself and two of another family member. she hadn't seen us recently and it was a nice setting and I thought she's like it. She wrote back but no mention of the photos. And I rarely send photos so it's not like I'm just sending a whole bunch over and over again. The second person also ignored one photo I sent with an email several months before, a cute photo of my cat. I find this incredibly rude. Esp. since I rarely send photos. Can't they just say, nice photos. thanks. or something to be polite? I wouldn't do that to someone and don't. In fact, both of these friends have sent me many photos and I always respond. Can you give your thoughts on this? I don't want to ask them if they got it anymore. I'm sure they did. It actually really bothers me. I mean, I think it's actually pretty mean. Anyone else had this happen? How did you handle it? thank you!

    Glad I found your channel. Yeah, the ones who are chronically not going to apologize or whatever are probably narcissists and just cut them loose or turn into acquaintance. I'd say to cut them off, but anyway. Good insight on the other scenario, if it's time thing, give them another chance. But I will add, I wouldn't give them too many chances.

    This video popped up when i needed it most. We hadnt seen this family member for ages and we had forgotten why, then an illness brought them 'hovering'. EVERY TIME we hung out together i felt shitty but i dismissed it as me being oversensetive, wrong every time we hung out boom there it was again. I so hope ive learned my lesson now.

    Very sad for everyone unfortunately. It may lesson, but do you stay??? I love him and don’t know how to get out yet. He is so good to me then 💥 He also created a kind of scenario with little comments…then you start thinking and when you become upset or confused he says you are reading into things. Makes you feel you’re loosing your mind or questioning yourself. God help us all.😢

    I have been invited to a friends birthday, my birthday is five days after his, but he has probably forgot, and he will probably not give me a gift. I usually just send him som money, but this year I don`t really feel for giving him something. He will probably not give me anything back , and he already has owed me $50 for two years. I sent him some money to buy something for me, and it was on discount and he never sent me the $50 remaining back.

    Some messages literally takes seconds responding to. They just ignore it anyway. It's like they are playing some type of game. Then all of a sudden they reach out days or even weeks later when they want to tell you something that's happened in their life. And they also want to check if you are still going to reply and why you haven't been writing anything. It's like they want power and control over you. And validation of their worth. This is straight upp narcissism and they are using YOU to feed their ego. I think that the only way to handle this is to remove them from your life completely. It's so easy to fall back otherwise in the same pattern and being disappointed. When you have a limited friend list life becomes so boring. So it's hard to let go of friends you used to get along with.

  • @simplyme8593

    Probably very few (if any) are going to read this long comment but I need to take it out of me 😢 Hopefully someone reads it and I get some advice. I just asked my friend what did I do wrong and she said nothing, that she's feeling mentally very bad and doesn't even have time & energy for her own family. I accepted it and told her I'll be there for her whenever she wants and that she doesn't have to feel obligated to be around me only whenever she's cheerful (if that's what she thinks). But then she just told me that maybe she wasn't clear in her last message and wished me good luck in my life. I asked, wtf, is that a goodbye? She said yes, it's a goodbye to you and our friendship and then she also deleted me from Facebook. If she just had a hard period mentally why would she say bye to me as a friend permanently? How can she claim i did nothing wrong and she removes me from her life? I thought that some people withdraw and push away they people when they feel low and I told her that I'm more worried about her now and I hope that she hasn't given up on herself. But like I said, she told me it's a goodbye and that I shouldn't be worried.. I insisted asking her to tell me the real reason, but she hasn't read my message, I realised that she had already deleted me and I bet she won't ever give me closure even if she reads it later. I don't understand. It's clear that she has something against me but she claims she doesn't. Is it cowardice? Does she think I'm gonna start a drama if I know the reason and be defending myself in a form of argument? I'm not this type of person. Is it a "punishment"? Even if she doesn't accept my apology and still wants to end it, it's ok (even though it hurts), I can't force anyone to love me, but I still have the freaking right to know..! I feel really hurt... We weren't best friends, we were ex co-workers in 2021, we would meet every 6 months or longer but I had still built feelings and was caring for her. Maybe she felt cold when I hadn't responded on her wishes for my birthday but when I appeared, I explained to her that I was having a VERY hard time and I apologised. Also, she didn't say it was that but when I told her why she hasn't texted me in 3 months, she said "Well you too, didn't after your birthday ❤". I don't know, I'm so confused. Maybe i was wrong but just tell me and I'll learn and fix it! This way of dumbing me while claiming it has nothing to do with me is so unethical and toxic. It feels like a total intentional disrespect to my face. Like, even if you hate me now (even though I don't see why would you), just out of respect of our past, show some dignity and give me what I deserve, a final explanation/reason of the ending. This whole thing feels like a sadistic punishment for something I did and don't even know about.. I still wish that she's not giving up on herself and withdrawing from life and I still care. Even though I feel quite stupid for still doubting the obvious dumbing and still try to find excuses and I feel a little angry that she put me in this situation where I am confused, I doubt my judgement and also try to to dig up any possible mistake I might have done... I will never undetstand humans.. It's not the first time a friendship of mine ends without an argument, just like that. I'm so tired of investing soul into people and then getting dumped like a trash. I don't think I'm gonna ever try to make a friend again... 😔💔

I am hurting that I made her feel like that. Feeling very guilty…😢😢

    This recently happened to me,actually today. Me and my bestfriend who were bf since 7 or 8 years. But recently we came out of our homes to study together. But recently both of us introduced us to a new friend,who very quickly joined us. And i was completely okay,until he revealed that he uses a lot of slangs,and since both of us are from good families and never use slang words,i tried to avoid him. But my bf decided to ignore his slang side and started getting along. And soon they started to ignore me cuz i was avoiding the new person,still somewhat interacting as per the need. But i thought of just keeping an observation that what they do if i don't talk to them. And to my surprise,as soon as i stopped interacting with them,my bf was completely okay and also stopped talking to me, but the 3rd person started to somehow steal my place and kick me out completely of my bf's life. I observed this for around 5 to 6 days,and today i decided to end it completely. I have no hope that my bf will ever return to me,but my bad luck is that i will still have to see him everyday,so i really have to be mentally strong to see my 8 year old bf as a completely unknown person

    Just remember that people will talk shit about you. They will underestimate you. They will tell you what you are, they'll tell you what you are not. The best way is to smile because you know the game and lovingly give them the middle finger in your head. Loving acceptance to rise above. Remember if you dont forgive them they still own a peice of you.

  • @davidbowen6284
    @davidbowen6284 3 дні тому

    Do they ask questions of you? If not its probably because they're not interested in you. They're not interested in finding out. Listen for the resentment they have toward other people that comes to the surface during conversations. A sign they may have passive aggressive tendencys. They maybe harnessing and living by that energy of the dark side. A good indicator and probably the most accurate for me is....do they respect you? In a group setting where they have other friends or just people in general to impress, you will see if they really respect you. Often you may become the butt of jokes.

    to beat the loneliness when i was trying to avoid people who were bad for me i found that just trying to think of and do even small things that i liked that take my attention.. getting out in nature, and watching my favourite comedies helps a lot, and playing my songs on my guitar, and reminding myself of why I'm avoiding people.. doing those things that you like to do, things that take your focus, that take your mind onto good things you like.. that helps and it's better to be alone than to spend time with people who use us or drag us down into bad stuff or hurting us.. Remind yourself of that any time you think of going to see them or reaching out to any bad for how you feel people there's still people i struggle with staying away from.. the ones who are nice but then randomly push me down on purpose.. they keep us hooked by being supportive to us when we are about to walk away.. but it's if they are deliberately cruel to me i really try to stay away from them even if they are nice 90% of the time if they say stuff that undermines my whole happiness i stay away if i can, but it's not easy maybe reach out to people who are supportive to you? i remember too once someone said "if you keep any bad people in your life then that will stop any good hearted people from wanting to be with you because they are trying to avoid that bad person you hang out with" so that's a good incentive to be "harsh" with our boundaries if we need to i know it was a long time since you asked the question but i hope life is good for youto beat the loneliness when i was trying to avoid people who were bad for me i found that just trying to think of and do even small things that i liked that take my attention.. getting out in nature, and watching my favourite comedies helps a lot, and playing my songs on my guitar, and reminding myself of why I'm avoiding people.. doing those things that you like to do, things that take your focus, that take your mind onto good things you like.. that helps and it's better to be alone than to spend time with people who use us or drag us down into bad stuff or hurting us..

    Marie how about someone who wronged you by not inviting you to an event although you mentioned that you're interested to go ? A friend told me about an event and I said I'd love to go, he told me that he'll get back to me with the details and he didn't, only to see last night that he was actually in the event with another group of friends. He's not really that close of a friend yet, so It's hard for me to confront him and tell him that it hurts. I ended up, and I hate to do this, giving him the cold shoulder at work the next day ( I'm usually way more friendly with him, trying to befriend him ) and to the point that he noticed there's something wrong and distanced himself as well after trying to reach out a couple of times and ask how was my weekend, as if there's nothing wrong. Nothing disrespectful from my part, just acting busier than usual and not engaging in non work related conversations with him. How do you think I should proceed ? Asking for closure is maybe a bit too late now, but I still need it kind of. He maybe forgot or simply doesn't know what he did wrong, it still hurts though !

      I would keep doing what you’re doing…polite but a little distant. You’re always busy..and honestly this isn’t someone you want to be close friends with anyway, because he is unreliable and doesn’t keep his word. Also, I would be wary of work friendships anyway. If you have a falling out, you still have to work with them.

    Maybe because they're the kind of people who wrongly tend to assume everyone around them is utterly stupid, and that makes them think they have the right to act very badly upon them, that's a sociopath characteristic. acknowledging they did something wrong can hurt their self-esteem, and that's something they're not really intended to deal with. they could also think that you might be stealing him/her possibilities of success, since it's widely known that those who behave that way are very jealous of other people's success.
