I am hurt on my close friend’s response here, and I know I shouldn’t be. Or would anyone else feel hurt by this?
Lately I’ve been a bit more sensitive (ok, perhaps a lot more sensitive) to social cues? and my close relationships including friendships and family. I was diagnosed with a terminal condition a few months ago after we found out treatment is no longer working, and lately I’ve really just been paying closer attention to who actually wants to spend time with me versus who is only spending time with me because they feel “obligated.” My close friend I’ve noticed has looked really uncomfortable when I bring up my prognosis or tell her how I’ve been(I only did this a couple times when I was feeling really down, I don’t bring it up often) and we’ve always talk about everything and vented to one another. She has been ghosting me lately when it comes to making plans and will only do things spontaneously. This time last year we would hang out multiple times a week, and this year I barely see her. Anyways, to the point…I texted her the other night telling her “thanks girly for hanging with me I had such a good time❤️😊” and she responded simply with “No worries!” Deep down I want to believe she doesn’t feel obligated to spend time with me and actually enjoys it, since we’ve always even so close , but by this response it made me feel hurt that she didn’t also say “me too” or anything like that. Just no worries (which makes me feel as if I was a bother). How do I stop feeling so hurt by something so little?
