Making and Keeping Friends

[CalicoPurpl90]

I am gradually starting to feel better but was very bothered earlier by an issue I have been dealing with. I have come to realize through the experience I have had so far that it can be very difficult to make friends and even harder to keep friends. I mentioned in an earlier post about a friend I tried calling that did not return my call. I decided to try reaching out to him again today by sending a quick text and never got a response back. It hurt to not hear back from him, and I did take it personally as I began to suspect that I was being ignored for no reason. Nothing happened between us earlier that would warrant him acting like this, so why is he not responding back to me? I may never find out the answer to that question. I know enough about this friend from past conversations we have had from a few weeks ago that he is having a tough time and may just not want to be bothered right now. It is painful and difficult, but I think it would be best for me to let my friend be and allow myself to let him go. He may come around eventually, or I may just never hear back from him. Either way, my life keeps moving forward. I will remind myself of this if I forget.
