Posting in mental health as I feel less likely to be judged.

I know there's been a lot of posts about friendships disappearing over lockdown

I just wanted to ask, has anyone found that people have suddenly approached them again, wanting to pick up where they left and you just think "no"? I'm on my second one of these this winter.

I'm also supposed to be moving - finally! If it doesn't fall through this time - and I just think, no.....where were you when I needed you so much, even just to talk on the phone?

And I feel like slipping away quietly and just making a fresh start in a new place.

Really I just wanted to get that off my chest. All they had to do was be around. They knew I was completely alone, they enjoyed their little family/friends bubble and now they want to come back?

Yep, I feel the same.

I learned to keep my circle close after friends I'd always been there for completely forgot about me.

A lesson learned.

can sorry you've had similar.

it was mainly the disappearance of close people, who really looked out for me, that's been so hard.

the people reappearing - I'm thinking, I've only just got used to doing without you, so why should I potentially put myself through it all again? And I feel angry because they've mostly been having a great time, if they'd not been in touch due to tough stuff it would be different.
