So, lately, I feel like I have no close friends or actual friends. When my mother was diagnosed with her illness, a lot of people ignored me until I confronted them. I spend a lot of my time trying to stay in touch with people and they don't show me the same courtesy.
Really, I don't think I have anyone who cares what's happening or what I'm feeling. And when I try to tell people I feel like we haven't been connecting they avoid me instead.
I don't want to live life putting on a friendly mask but I feel even more alienated when I speak the truth. When I'm there for people, they take me for granted or vent their anger towards me.
I don't have a significant other and my siblings remain "busy." My mother has been my support through my grandparents' hospitalization and deaths and I'm appalled at how the rest of the immediate family keeps ignoring the diagnosis and doesn't spend more time with her. Sometimes, I think my mother and I are the same in that we care too much.
