Your friendships aren't meaningless, honey. It's just that, if you think about it, it really is every person for themselves. You have to get over the thought that people are going to be there for you. Sometimes they will. Sometimes they won't. You can't expect people to "notice," because they are caught up in their own ego. You are, too, because hey, you dropped out to see if they would notice. And that is kind of catering to your own ego. See, nobody is exempt.

But the best thing for you to do is to learn how to be there for yourself and stay strong when nobody else is around. And then learn how to be an awesome friend, too, because you will get more when you give more.

Hang in there anon.

This is a good comment and I second your advice.

Nowhere in the secret OP says she dropped out to see if her buddies would notice.

When people online say they need a break, I assume it has to do with work or school duties.

"You can't expect people to 'notice,' because they are caught up in their own ego."

Wow. You sound like you surround yourself with really, really shitty people.

Also, OP did not say once that they disappeared for attention.

DA

OP didn't say they did it for attention, but they sure as hell did say that they're leaving forever and their previous friendships were meaningless because they didn't get the amount of concern they wanted to get, even if they weren't fishing for it.

IDGAF if people are sad that they didn't get the attention they wanted. Everybody likes attention. But flouncing in a huff and declaring all their friendships meaningless because nobody tried to contact someone who "needed a break"? is asshole behavior

I see this acronym occasionally, but Google turns up nothing relevant. What does "DA" mean?

I'm not saying that OP's reaction isn't selfish and childish. It is.

But saying that "friends shouldn't give a shit about you because they have their own lives" just means they're really shitty friends, IMO. I've never had friends that would disregard caring about me out of their own convenience, or just because it's "expected" because people are "only concerned with themselves." Nor would I put up with that.

And the post I was responding to accused them of dropping out specifically to see if anyone would notice.

DA (lol)

DA = different anon
AYRT = anon you replied to
NA = not anon
SA = same anon

and so on so forth, anon identifyers :)

Other people have lives too anon. They may have noticed, but a month is not a long time to disappear. Maybe they thought you were busy? Maybe they just didn't notice (you are not the center of their world no matter how much you talk). Hell one of my closer fandom friends disappeared and I waited a few months before sending a "sup" message.

Not to mention you sound kind of manipulative, dropping out or threatening to drop out for no other reason than to cater to your own ego is not cool. Chances are you wouldn't msg or notice if they disappeared for a month, you're not somehow more caring or anything. You all just have different priorities and your own focus's in life

Not OP.
