So like the title says I'm done being the person people turn to when they need to talk, when they need a loving voice, when they need help. I'm done doing this for people who will never do the same for me
I 28ftm(and my bf 32) recently went to a burlesque show to support a friend and while there we saw some friends. Before the show started everything was fine, no issue as far as I know.
During intermission I went around and visited friends tables. I get to the friend in question, let's call them K(30's f) and F (30 nb).
During intermission I came over and asked how they were doing and enjoying the show, asking if maybe F was up for it later maybe meeting another friend. They mentioned being overstimulated and probably going to leave early, I mentioned we were thinking the same. I tried to talk to K briefly but she pulled me aside and told me I was crowding. I didn't think I was that close, but totally get it. I apologized and went back to my table.
A few minutes later they both came by our table to say goodbye, I hugged them both and apologized again to F this time.
Not wanting to continue to crowd I sent K a message later hoping they got home safe and apologized once again. I was going to wait a few days before reaching out.
Well F reached out to my bf to tell him that they had unfriended me because they felt my apology sounded like I knew I was making the mistake at the time. Ie while I was visiting their table.
I feel like I've done so much for this person, they've called me family, we've given her a safe place to stay, I've literally talked them off a ledge and this little mistake that I've done nothing but apologize for is enough to throw me aside.
If they ever want that back they owe me at least an apology for this. Because this is a slap in my face from someone I loved as a sibling.
But I'm done giving and giving until they've taken all they want from me. I need people or are willing to be that person, who are willing to have the hard talks, fuck someone who can tell me to keep living like Ive done for others!
Edit: I left the one group chat we had, mentioned to our last mutual I'd still like to be friends, we were chatting just fine and I guess F told them something. I was suddenly told I don't respect boundaries and was blocked by them too.
One very small mistake has me losing friends and I'm not even given a chance to say anything. I'm just easy to cast aside I guess
