Re: Disappointment.

[(Anonymous)]

Anon, are you usually the person in any given group who does, or is expected to do, the most emotional labour? By that I mean it's you who usually reaches out first, is the shoulder to cry on, the one who makes sure everyone's doing ok? The glue of the group, so to speak. If so... You deserve reciprocity and if you're not already getting that from the people you think matter, it's never going to happen.
I say this about partners: never date potential. I feel the same way about friendships.

As for the friendship group...
Yes friendship breakups suck. Fucking up normal group dynamics suck. However I truly feel like those friendships are not worth it if you can't find your way back to each other in the event the group gets scattered or becomes fractured.

Best of luck.

I would never think of myself as the glue and I'm not the only one, but... yeah, I do a considerable share of the organizing gatherings and keeping people up to date on whatever's going on. I ask how people are doing, check up on them when I know they're going through a rough time or facing a particular challenge and I'm slowly realizing that... well, they don't do that for me. If someone's going on in my life, I'll tell them and they'll usually respond. But they never ask or initiate. Oof.

You're right. I try to remind myself that not all friendships are forever, even if you thought they'd be long term (or more long term than that) and that's just how things are. But the older I get, the harder it is to meet people and find those connections. Thank you for your kind wishes.
