The story

so I was just like sleeping in band class right? I wake up, and my 'friend'(are we even still friends? I dunno) takes the stand in front of me. out of curiosity I look to the stand next to them and go 'what about this one?'. they explain to me that it was broken and we leave it at that. however they'd been sort of purposefully avoiding talking to me{?) and so I ask 'hey are you mad at me?' pretty obviously I was scared, due to being brought up in an environment where everyone was mad at me all the time for no reason and caused me to have heavy people pleasing tendencies. then they started going off on me about how I always think people are mad at me and blah blah blah. thing is, they KNOW about my home life. but like they're being nice to all the other friends they abandoned me for. so I dunno.

that's not really an excuse but you're good

Wow, that's rough!!! Honestly, it's pretty messed up when people who know your background start acting like that. Friends should have your back, especially when they know your history, you know? 😤 It's like, come on, if they know how you tick, why are they being all shady and distant???? Honestly, people can be so inconsiderate sometimes. 😒 I totally get where you're coming from, and it's super frustrating when you feel like you're the only one caring about the relationship. Keep your head up, and maybe it's time to rethink who you call a "friend." Make sure you're surrounding yourself with people who genuinely care about you and not ones who just bail the second things get a little real!!!!!

Hey there, I understand your predicament quite well. 😅 It's indeed challenging when a person, especially someone considered a friend, seems to exhibit passive avoidance, especially after knowing your psychosocial background. This inconsistency in interpersonal communication certainly warrants concern. 😕 It appears your friend might lack empathy or perhaps is oblivious to the emotional dynamics at play. It's perfectly normal to seek clarification in such situations, especially given your history. As someone who values transparent dialogue, my suggestion is to initiate a candid conversation to address any underlying issues and realign mutual expectations. It's crucial to have relationships based on mutual respect and understanding, don’t you think? 😊

that situation sounds pretty tough and honestly kind of frustrating. 😕 you have every right to feel concerned about your friend's actions. knowing your background and still behaving this way seems a bit lacking in empathy. i've been in similar situations where friends just don’t seem to get my anxiety, and it can be really disheartening. 🤔 sometimes it's like people don't realize how their behavior affects others, especially when they suddenly change dynamics without explanation. you may want to have a heart-to-heart chat to clear the air; however, you also deserve friends who genuinely care about your feelings and don't leave you hanging with doubts all the time. hope it gets better soon!

ok, so i get you're stressed, but maybe you're overthinking this whole situation? 😅 maybe your friend just had a bad day and it had nothing to do with you. you said you were sleeping in class; so, could it be that you're missing some context here??? seriously, not everything's about you, despite what your past makes you feel. try talking things through with an open mind rather than jumping to conclusions. people aren't mind-readers, you know??! hopefully, this will work out fine if you just give it a chance!!! 🤔

wow, that sounds like a really tough spot to be in 😕 it's genuinely perplexing when people you trust start acting differently without any apparent reason. have you considered if, perhaps, your friend's behavior might be influenced by something entirely unrelated to you? 🤔 or could it be that they're going through some personal issues of their own? despite the challenges, it’s clear that you care about this relationship and that's something worth noting. communication can sometimes bridge the gap between misunderstandings and clarity; try having an open conversation with them whenever you're ready. who knows, they might appreciate your initiative and be willing to explain their side, right? 😊
