Warning may come across as trivial.....
Can I ask opinions on this?
Sent WhatsApp msg to two friends a few weeks ago explaining why I’d been a bit flakey at a group we all go to. It’s a proper serious, potentially life changing reason and I chose to confide in them, not all details but just outline.
I wasn’t asking for sympathy or their help, just explaining why I hadn’t been going to our group and now my attendance will be on off.
They both read message but neither replied at all. I’ve tried not to bother about it, they’re not particularly close friends, but I don’t really understand why neither of them have bothered to reply. Haven’t spoken to either of them since then, and they haven’t contacted me. I think if someone I knew (or even a virtual stranger) confided in me they were going through a rough time I might have said even something in reply. I don’t need their help etc, but I’ve spent time with them, listened to them, and thought we were friends.
Trying not to overthink, but I have to see these people again in the future and I’m not sure I can pretend not to be a bit hurt. How should I handle it when I see them?
Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks.
