Really needing some advice here because I just have a really rotten feeling that I’ve done something to offend a friend.

basically I had a baby earlier this year. I’m in a friendship group with me and 2 others, one friend checks in regularly and has visited a couple of times and keeps up with me on socials. The other friend has visited once, rarely checks in (she’s a mother so knows how rough the first few months are) and I’ve just sat and looked at my social posts of photos of my baby and she hadn’t liked a single photo nor left a comment. I feel it’s petty perhaps on my side but also quite b!itchy from her at the same time.

she has recently had a baby and is being fussed over of course. But I just feel really close to messaging her asking why she doesn’t show any love or attention towards me and my child?

thoughts? X

Maybe she just doesn't like you. Sometimes it really isn't any more complicated than that.

Having a baby can put the kind of people you keep in your life in perspective, because you have far less time and mental energy to commit to people outside your family.

So you cull all the people who aren't really that nice or that you don't like that much and just surround yourself with people who make you feel good and who you have a mutually positive relationship with. Maybe you haven't made the cut.

I think it says more about people who willingly share photos of their children on SM to an audience of strangers. My accounts are private and everyone who is on my SM is a friend or family member.

No, it applies to you too. You don’t own the photos you put out on social media and it’s very easily hacked anyway.

I’m just saying think it through. Hopefully in the future it will be illegal to do this without consent. I’m sure some children who were exposed will sue their parents.

But yeah, I’m sure your friend does it on purpose but ignore it for your own sake.

Nope it's for everyone.
