Nothing gives you clarity like seeing how people *don't* show up when something goes wrong.
The uncle who sends multiple 20-min VMs about his life? Radio silent after my last reply, in which I mentioned my job loss.
Ditto with a friend who expressly asked me to tell him how last week's meeting went. Silence since Thurs.
And a fellow who always sends me a long Sunday email couldn't be bothered to put in a word responding to my news.
Sometimes I just serve as a sounding board. 🙃 Call me ELIZA.
@MLClark it’s an eye-opener, for sure and it hurts. At my lowest, I found no one, but myself. Maybe that’s why they call it “at your lowest”….you search high, only to reach the lowest and find yourself.
I’m sorry that this happened to you. It must’ve made you feel unimportant and unloved. I can assure you that you ARE important and very much loved ❤️❤️❤️
I'm sorry it happened to YOU. ❤️❤️❤️
Thankful for your empathy, but I so wish fewer of us had this experience firsthand.
You are so loved and so important, too.
❤️🫂
@MLClark ❤️❤️❤️
I have found more comfort / support from the amazing people, here on Coso, than from my IRL family and friends! I love this community and I feel blessed to be a part of it ❤️
@Valkyrie_D @MLClark You both are wonderful people and shine brightly. Coso is better because you two are here.
People are the reason #cosorocks
