>>81855137I wasn't going to respond to the post because I figured it was someone trying to say something inflammatory to get (you)s.
>Love and true friendship isn't conditional on the other person delivering you "good vibes" only, anon, unless you're a completely self-serving person.Agreed. He had grown distant from me a few years ago and was cheated on by his girlfriend of many years during that time. I wished I could have been there for him so bad, but he only established contact again after the fact, when he found himself alone and in need of rebuilding his social circles.
>It's completely normal that when facing possible death due to an illness someone becomes depressed and starts to radiate negativity.I haven't even been that bad! Everyone tells me how positive I am through this. I'm holding onto the hope that it's benign as best as I can. But even if it isn't, and it's full blown cancer, I'm going to get through this. No way I'm dying at 27.
>He needs a therapist and family supportthankfully I have both. My parents are great.
>I think it's a blessing in disguise, as hard situations separate the wheat from the chaff.I agree. I'm mourning the loss of my most important friendship, it hurts, because I really liked that guy, but I have to face the truth, he was a fair-weather friend and the weather was nice for a long time. There's a part of me that wants to reach out again, because it's sad to lose someone you've known for so long, but I don't think I can handle it in my current emotional state. Our last conversation he literally told me "I don't see how it's relevant that you're going through this" when I had been going to the ER daily for seizures following my brain surgery because we had a minor squabble over the fact I "ditched" him to play a video game with someone else (which I ended up going to the ER due to the seizure 5 minutes into the gaming session). Just cannot believe the friend I had would be so heartless and lacking in compassion.
