I thought I had a series of good friendships that coincided with entering college but one by one they have disintegrated as people have implied that I am not good enough or interesting enough to be anything more than a bridge from one macroscopic social life to another.
The worst thing is when it's not explicitly stated that something's happened, and it has to be implied. Someone stops hanging out with you and the most conversation you've had with them is "hello", for example. Or someone just disappears off the face of the earth?
You'd think this is just statistics - just a few bad dice rolls - but what's amazing is how consistent the pattern is. But, to mirror the previous post, at least you leave with an idea of who really cares about you.
You are not alone. This happens to NTs all of the time. I know a lot of NT friendships that broke off and they never have heard from together for a long time.
This is a normal problem that happens to normal people all of the time. If you do not want that happen, than you need to put the effort into ensuring that relationship occurs.
Sometimes, other people just get lost in the universe of their little world and they just forget. Happens all of the time. What you need to be persistent and to put effort. Make sure that you have boundaries on how you effort you put into. Too much effort will turn off people. But when you found a nice equilbrum, you would be amazed at the results.
