    Two of my close friends of 17 years ghosted me while I was going through cancer treatment last year. To say it was hurtful was an understatement. I left those friendships in 2019.
    I forgave them on my own, since they stopped talking to me or answering my calls or texts. But I will never forget their cruelty. And we will never be friends again. Happily, I am going into my eighth month of remission from Stage 3 cancer, so life is much better this year, despite the pandemic and everything else that is happening in our country. I enjoy my own company these days, and am friends with my neighbors, so I am working to move on. Recently, one of my cancer fighting buddies died. Life is really painful right now, but I know this will pass, and I know my friend is at peace. Thanks for posting this. It is helpful.

      Thank You, Shreya.
      I’m entering my second year in Remission and have luckily been working full time and have a great full time job opportunity coming up.
      Looking forward to returning to the office in late September/early October, and finally meeting my colleagues after working virtual from home since March, 2020!
      Life is good. I’m enjoying my own company and the peace that life in isolation has brought me.

And I also hope you are infused with inner strength, renewed purpose and a tenacity to forgive and love knowing the best is yet to come for you. God bless you.

    Some friendships shouldn’t be repaired. It isn’t about not having the skill set, it’s about knowing what you deserve in a friendship. As a person who just walked away from a toxic friendship, it was about me spending years putting up with someone treating me badly and finally getting the strength to leave.

    • @Raini2727
      @Raini2727 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I also believe people and circumstances can change too though. I was in toxic friendships and my behavior wasn’t always the greatest and contributed to it as well as them. But I’ve been to counseling and I think if they worked on improving themselves too we could make it work again. Don’t shut the door on people. If they’re willing to change and make things better, let them.

      THANK YOU Lydia for speaking up; I thought I'd never find someone who shared this view about Shasta's position towards this. I completely understand that there are levels of frientimacy and that most people can fit in either level, I understand that it is okay to lower your expectations when you have a bad experience with someone and get to know them better. I understand how valuable her friendship levels chart is useful for people to adjust their expectations and demands. But I do believe that it is profoundly healthy to have boundaries. There are people in this world who are not in a place that allows them to have a healthy relationship even as a contact friend. Why wouldn't it be okay to make the decision that we don't/no longer want certain people in our life, without having to justify it endlessly? Why deprive people of that empowerment?

    • @Tulipz1987
      @Tulipz1987 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Lydia it was the same for me too.
      I agree with you a 100 percent. Several months ago I ended a friendship that sounds exactly as your situation.. my regret is I didn't end the friendship much sooner.

    • @michellelana9388
      @michellelana9388 2 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @omgcarsonnn
    @omgcarsonnn ปีที่แล้ว +24

    This is beautiful but if someone can go over 6 months (let alone YEARS) without talking to you they don't care about you anymore/never did enough to salvage a friendship. If you offer a genuine and heartfelt apology and they would rather ignore you, orbit, or any game playing behavior then that person has issues beyond what you did to them. Unless you did something truly terrible to them, there is NO reason someone who claimed to love you and be your friend won't talk to you.

      This, absolutely. If a friend hurts me deeply but I still miss them and care about them, there is only so much time that can pass by until I try to make amends. The same is true the other way around, and if, like you said, time just keeps rolling without them showing any sign of wanting to talk with you, then the only sane conclusion is that they never cared that much to begin with and it was a severely unbalanced friendship.

  • @geieffect
    @geieffect 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Another sign is when they are secretly jealous of you. Or they will brag to you about other friends they have what trip they went on..etc, etc.....its narcissism and It's sad. Their loss, their problem. Be brave and move forward. Too many beautiful souls out there who do appreciate you!

  • @michele0324
    @michele0324 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Perhaps you've repeatedly crossed their boundaries, perhaps they don't feel heard, perhaps they're tired of your unsolicited advice. Maybe they feel drained after hanging out with you. Maybe they think you're pushy.
    Whatever the reason it may or may not have to do with you. Chasing after someone who's not speaking to you will likely push them farther away and perhaps permanently.
    If they want to speak to you they will at which point it's up to you whether or not you want to hear what they have to say.

    Thank you so much for these videos! They have been keeping me calmer and helping me going through my personal rough patch! I have recently received a text from my best friend announcing that “there have been a lot that have hurt her, which she does not want to talk about with me and consequently, she has come to the conclusion to throw our 20 year friendship aside”. I have been devastated! Knowing her I don’t think there is a turning point or a possibility to amend this relationship. I only wish I knew what happened and what did I do wrong that hurt her...

    Understanding coupled with forgiveness is a sensible way forward. But always hold your strength to say No! and move away and onwards if it feels right.
    You may be dealing with someone who has alot of inner healing to do but anger and bad behaviour is coming out at you. You are not the problem, remember who YOU are. This brings you strength to move forward with confidence.

    Thank you! Just watched this video which was posted like few years back But indeed this is the answer I have been looking for. I’m in a turmoil of having a close & dear friend to have ghosted me for over 3 months now.. whether to put a closure like ending it all for once cause it hurts So much after So many Messages sent without any responses. And yet here’s the advice to give a dignified open ended closure.. my last msg was asking if we could meet up for a simple get together met with silence.. 😢. It’s hard & hurtful But I have held myself up. Instead of throwing tantrum pestering her to respond or ending the friendship right away.

    One of my friends who is a woman finally pissed me off enough to the point where I will no longer speak to her. She supposedly accidentally sent me a nice selfie to which I responded to it. She didn't seem to like the reply, so she deleted that post and ignored me for a whole day (which I didn't know).
    She then gave me the most backhanded and shitty excuse for an apology I've ever received from a woman, which was the final nail in the coffin for me. Blocked her on everything. She and I are done. I haven't been this angry at someone in a long time.

    I don't think it's ego to know that you're not going to essentially beg someone to be an adult and have a conversation with someone they supposedly care about. I guess if the person is in their 20's still maybe but not for people pushing 40 n beyond. The door can remain open and certainly don't try to hurt them back but i do think people like thie would lose respect for you if you are toi understanding of their childishness n selfishness. The way i look at it is yiu might also be creating more guilt n shame on theur part for continuing to ignore your very nice requests or openness to talk n try to resolve the issue. Many people in that situation will resent that person n come up with other reasons not to like you rather than feel guilty about how they treated you. In general the worst someone acts or treats you the less likely they are to apologize which is why someone will apologize for stepping on your foot accidentally ot forgetting to return a phone call etc but not apologize for sleeping with your husband or stealing from you. Lol. We even see murderers n rapists who will never apologize for that. People will either come to the realization that they acted in haste or not in the best way( even if it is to end a friendship) and reach oit themselves ( a sign of growth n maturity) or they never will. If they do on their own that is really the only healthy way to move forward. Continuing to guess what your apologizing for and almost dragging them to the table to talk will likely backfire one day. They may have just had a moment of weakness and were missing you but no fundamental change has taken place and they will likely do it again a few years later. Only be with people who value you and themselves enough to grow as a person.

    You are putting the responsibility on the person who is not being spoken to . In a lot of cases it is jealousy why a friend won’t speak to you . A friend of mine asked if I could work with her because she needed help . She was never happy with the conditions . We got on well though but she kept telling me not to tell the boss that she complains about the job . We had to do a cleaning job at a wedding reception job and she clashed with the supervisor so the supervisor lied by saying we didn’t clean the men’s toilets . We had to return in the afternoon to clean up after a function and my fiend didn’t want to come but I did . She wanted to know how I went . I told her it didn’t go well and the supervisor was insulting my work performance . The boss gave her some money to give to me so I went to pick it up she abruptly told me to count my money then cut off from me . I found out the the supervisor didn’t want my friend to work at the reception anymore but allowed me to return to work . The cold shoulder was because of that in my opinion . I rang my friend and I thanked her for everything she did for me she said that she did it with an open heart and wished me the best for my life and hung up on me . I sent her a message saying sorry if I offended her but I promised that I won’t bother her but she ignored my message . My feelings were hurt and she most likely thinks that I had something to do with why the supervisor doesn’t want her back . She does suffer from a lot of anxiety and takes Valium , so her emotions must be running high . I hope she will find peace and if she doesn’t forgive me , at least I tried to solve the matter . It is funny that she never blocked me on social media . We will see how it goes .
