Is it just me?

There is someone like this in my life. Used me when their life was bad and ditched me as soon as things were better. Made some hugely insensitive remarks to me and showed no empathy, yet again at a difficult time in my life. Now they seem to be thriving. Really happy in their relationship, saved a ton of money through lockdown and ready to spend it all, business did fantastically this past year etc. They were very keen to push me aside but I notice they put lovely comments on others facebook posts, buy them gifts and seem very keen to keep them in her life. With me, they do not care at all that we do not speak anymore. I have done tons for this person and been incredibly good to them but have totally been pushed aside.
I know I should not be looking on their social media but it really upsets me. Am I just not worth as much as others? If we are told, we give out the good we give to others, why do selfish people seem to thrive but kind people seem to get the short straw and shit in life?
I know I will get some nasty replies but I feel so down.

There are always people who are users and free loaders. Let them get on with it . You know you've been kind and a good person. Just hold your head high and move on.

Block them on social media to remove the temptation to check it.

I've been there. They were never a true friend and you should take pride in the fact that you were there for them and showed them kindness. It is not your fault. You have been a good friend and a good person, remember that. There are better friends out there. 💗Flowers

The one good thing about friends is that you get to choose whether to have them as a friend or not.

Let this one go.

Work on your boundaries. I used to give too much of myself, but I'm really good at reducing what I do. That way I don't feel used because my help was given freely. How insensitive was the remark? We can expect better, but we are often let down.

It was an insensitive remark too many. A cold and disinterested response. Yet with everyone else they are lovely. Hmm

I have learnt from this. My boundaries have definitely been worked on. Will never let myself be used or treated so coldly ever again.
