I have known a friend whom I have met while volunteering at the same hospital two years ago.
For about three months into starting my hospital volunteer work, we were both in the same department.
After three months, I decided that I wanted to volunteer and work in another department.
Him and I also attended the same college, in the same course of study, although he was three semesters ahead of me. He graduated from the program back in May 2013, and after that, I kind of kept in touch with him. Then he vanished off my friendship radar.
It was not until July 2014 when I was working as a temporary assistant through a health care agency where I was sent to work in an assisted living center for elderly people. I only worked at that facility up until September and then went back to my current full-time job.
I then bumped into that friend, who happened to be working as an LPN within that facility. So I asked him for his phone number, and then we hung out for a few time for lunch or dinner.
The last time I met with him was in December of last year. After that, he never bothered to respond to my voicemail, or text messages. And no, his phone number did not change, as his voicemail comes on after a couple of rings on his cell phone.
I don't know what makes him dislike me, as we never had any arguments or issues.
My hypothesis is that this punk guy, who also works at the same hospital I currently work at, also works at that assisted living facility, on a part-time basis.
I am guessing that the guy at my hospital talked smack about me, encouraging that friend to break ties with me.
So have any of you fellow brothers and sisters here faced a situation where a former friend no longer responds to your voicemail, or even responds to your text messages?
How long do you keep calling the friend, or send text messages to that friend, until you give up, and then realize that it's time to cut friendship ties to that person?
