Why is he like this?

[RainbowBriteUk]

I have a chronic illness and often tell my best friend when i'm at my worst with it. I don't go on, I just mention it in a text and that is that.

Now, he texts me every day, multiple times a day without fail. The day after I've mentioned i'm not feeling great, though, I don't get a text! It's when I could do with the support most. I really don't go on about my illness. Just a one line usually i'm not feeling today and the pain is back, something like that. What's going on?!

You made it about you and not about him.

@Cuntness Did I let my woes get in the way of his ego?

I love your name!

Maybe he is leaving you alone because you have said you are not feeling great? To many people that means 'give me some space/time'

Agree with @clockover

I wouldn't message someone several times a day if they were unwell either. I would assume they were resting. If you need his support ask for it.

Is it just this time he's not responded? Does he normally respond the day after you say you're now well? If so, maybe he's had a really busy day, lost his phone etc?

Although I cherish him as a friend, he is selfish sometimes. I don't think he's doing it to leave me alone or give me some space as when he starts talking to me again, he never asks if i'm feeling better.
