My "friends" didn't contact me ever since the death of my grandmother

I was struggling and sent a message asking advice of whether its really important to go to the funeral or not. She didn’t respond. And I haven’t bothered to contact her since. Should I drop the first message?

I like the company for holidays but I feel kinda upset she didn’t respond. Maybe she got busy. I dunno. Normally she’s quick to respond.

Anyway, I booked a trip to the park today and it’s nice to go with people but it’s also nice to spend some time on my own. Got a new phone want to test out the camera.

Some people get really freaked about death and just ignore anyone in grief until they stop talking about it. That isn’t a great way to respond, but it does happen. I lost a lot of friends after my dad died because of it.

If thats the case I don’t blame her, it’s just weird she always responds and didn’t bother with the last one … But anyway, I need to think about joining groups for making friends…

I have been struggling a bit with having flaky friends lately. I started joining volunteer groups. Generally, people who volunteer in their free time are more likely to have traits such as reliability and helpfulness.

Sorry to hear, @anon25873142.

I have to ask: is this the same friend that was asking you to go on expensive holidays with her some time ago?

Either way, people react differently to death. But it seems like this friend should have at least offered their condolences or something.

Yes thats the one. She stopped trying to force the holidays after a while… also she knew my grandmother because when my grandmother took me to nursery she was taking her kids to nursery too… Maybe its time i find friends my own age.

I haven’t made any new friends in years. Just acquaintances. I’m okay with that. Good luck with making new friends!
