i'm having this exact thing happen to me right now, even in the past it's happened to me at least 3 times with different group chats/friend groups. the thing you said about watching a tiktok about not texting first really shocked me because that's what I started doing a few months ago too and it's shown me just how much people don't care about me, people I thought were my friends just don't care to invite me to things, they don't msg me just to talk, the only reasons they even talk to me in my current friend group now is if they need to fill a spot in a game. I only have 1 good friend who's stuck with me since 2019 through all my friend groups but even he isn't really a full friend, he's really cool but he doesn't really treat me as a friend sometimes. just makes me realize that I might not need friends at all and to just live my life knowing that i'm my own person and if no one else respects me, I will respect myself.
Yeah I get where you’re coming from man, people say the small things in friendships don’t matter or it’s “too high maintenance” but things like calling someone or texting them first plays a big part for sure you start to realise how many people actually value your presence, great to hear you have a friend you respect, I hope that if you’re able to talk it out with him he would be able to understand and your friendships can grow. If not you still have a lot of life to live and more people to meet, don’t forget that it’s ok to be alone but don’t let it consume you. Thanks for the comment and watching btw!
You just changed my perspective on long-distance online friendships.
