I text my family group tonight, me my sister and my mum. Thats the only family I really have. I told them about something I felt really sad about. My mum sent a short message then said she was going to bed. My sister didnt reply. AIBU this made me feel a bit sad. I spend hours with them talking if theres something thats made them sad and they want to talk about.

Unfortunately some people just don’t match our energy.

Thanks for that..
I actually didnt want to speak to AI about something personal and upsetting for me and my life, I wanted to be comforted by those who love me.

Give your mum a call tomorrow? Try and not take it to mean that she doesn't care. Maybe she was tired or feeling unwell

People only really care about themselves. AI is at least programmed to sound like it gives a damn.

What did you text them about? They could just be very selfish, crappy people. But some stuff is fine, but there is a thing called trauma dumping, which is sharing emotionally difficult things with someone who isn’t prepared for it and really doesn’t want to be involved with it because they’re not able to take anyone else’s emotional baggage.

Or, if you’re anything like my sister, was it something that you’ve overreacted to and they just don’t want the unnecessary drama?
