One sided friendships
Do your friends ask how you’re doing?
I have asked and I don’t get anything in return most of the time. I have a close friend who usually asks or asks in return but she has a newborn as a first time mom so she doesn’t call or ask as much as before, which I understand having been there once and people have lives. She was the one to talk to regularly. I think I am just feeling alone in the world. I have a couple older aunts that check in so I am grateful but sometimes I feel like I need more.
Show your support
if you feel others are not meeting your expectations, you can do 1 of 2 things, address it or cut them off. Not to sound mean or anything but that's a big thing I learned in therapy.
I have friends that do and friends that don’t. I get how you’re feeling though as I’ve been there.

I have a couple of friends who are great in person, but it often feels like if I didn't reach out I'd never talk to them, and they never respond if I talk about my daughter. It hurts. 💔
