So 3 ish years ago, a partner of one of my DHs friends who I’ve known a few years (came to our wedding) and I were pregnant at the same time during lockdown. She has a large following on Instagram and even now is always saying to her to her followers that she’s lonely, has no mum friends or friends at all and wishes she had these friends to go stuff with her DD but has social anxiety.
So I, many times, have reached out and tried to form a friendship with her (e.g. soft play, play group, inviting her round for a coffee and taking the kids to the park) because I don’t want her to feel lonely and that she has no one, she doesn’t live far away and it make sense as our girls are so close in age. If I’d seen on her story that she was having a bad day with her anxiety or with her current pregnancy I’d reach out and say I was there if she needed to talk to someone.
She only replies to me about a third of the time I message her about meeting up- when we do she always says she had a great time and we must do it again soon. At the beginning of the year we were invited to her DDs birthday party (only friends who were invited) and it seemed to go great and we said we’d meet up soon etc etc.
So messaged a few days later, ignored. Noticed she’d ‘come off’ IG, (thought it was one of her followers had been mean to her or something) so I messaged her to ask if she was ok, ignored. And now I realised she hasn’t actually come off- she’s just blocked me!
I don’t want to make things awkward as our DDs play nicely and will eventually may go to school together and we will see each other from time to time, however its just making me feel shit that she’s cut me out for no reason and I want to just know why! But I certainly don’t think I’ll be reaching out again to meet up.
I feel pathetic for even typing this post so please me kind!
