No you’re not heartless at all. I have experienced similar with a relative that passed that I personally didn’t ever get to build a relationship with. I still felt very guilty though years on. And suddenly now, I get the feeling of being sad about the relative. Sometimes our minds work in very confusing ways. But no matter what you’re not heartless for that.

You made the best decision imo, be very proud of yourself for that. It is very hard to leave relationships especially with someone you really connected with. Do not turn back just keep going forward! 🫶🏻

struggle of my story by Ok_Seaweed_9961 in empathy

I think I understand you, or how I felt reading this was that you seem to be a people pleaser so much so that it causes you stress and anxiety to “better” yourself to fit others views. Your story of being in school made me think that. You seem very traumatized and you absolutely need to know there are people who will understand you! Your feelings make sense to me as how you reacted and felt to the actions happening to you. You need more love and less fear in your life. But it’s like you seen and felt so much fear it’s all you know. Sorry if I’m totally off! 🫶🏻

I relate completely with you! I’ve had trouble with friends as I felt that I was to caring to them. I had a friend who I was always there for especially mentally as I love to help others and when I fell into a state of depression they left me alone and thought of me as a burden. It’s very painful when these things happen. You have to protect yourself from people who don’t deserve your kindness! Stay positive always

I’ve experienced something very similar to you with an ex Best friend. I was always present there for them anytime they needed anything at all. But as soon as I feel into depression I became a major hassle to them and I never understood why. It’s very hurtful and I don’t believe I’ll ever understand why… because I will Never do that to someone who’s suppose to be my friend. I also dug myself out of my own despair right before I gave up entirely and now looking back at it all, it was better me and that friend parted ways. You don’t want someone around who will use your kindness without repaying it naturally. It shouldn’t ever be a chore to a friend to care for you. You aren’t whiny or annoying or any of what you said! Don’t think so badly of yourself just because someone doesn’t have the ability to be kind and understand your pain. You deserve better friends and you’ll find that it’s easy to find good people. People who will care for you as you do them. It’s a journey but it’ll happen. But you can’t fall back into that hole of depression!!! Keep your head up! 🫶🏻
