I don't think I'm being unreasonable so I suppose it's just a rant.
I know nobody owes anyone anything and so on, but are you only supposed to have conversation and interaction with people in your immediate vicinity? If acquaintances and so on don't respond are you meant to accept that as normal and just accept not speaking with many people?
Friend recently had second baby, about 2 months ago. I guess it's unreasonable to let them know you'd love to come and meet their new baby whenever they feel ready for it, yes I know theyre overwhelmed and tired etc. But they've been posting plenty on social media, 2 weeks ago and no reply. I should've just shown zero interest.
I'm renting my home out and a lad came to view it, told me he wanted to take it and put down holding deposit etc. , I sent him the details and never heard from him again. He could've sent a quick message saying sorry I've changed my mind?
A childhood family friend who also had a baby, as a family we sent her a gift and never even got a thank you, another one where I said I'd love to meet her baby and never heard back again?
I must frighten young children, or these people perhaps don't want anyone other than their 'little family bubble' involved?
