Hi:
I want to talk about an unwritten social rule.

I know that when a friend is no longer interested, they can ghost you. Even when you attempt to tell them about a special occasion or some accomplishment or life event, they are not obligated to acknowledge it. I get they are not interested but I feel it's kind of rude not to acknowledge the situation.

For example,

This friend, who I had a brother-sister friendship to for many year but ever since he moved to another part of town and joined a church where he met all kinds of new friends. Since then, he has seemed to outgrow our friendship. I attempted to tell him about a recent life event in my life but at no time he has ignored my friends and I.

Friends come, friends go, and you never know who the real ones are until the very end.

:(

Yup happens all the time, this year especially you realize how little anyone cares about ya. :? Don't message him anymore just block his number and try finding another friend. I had something similiar happen to me also I blocked everyone and moved on. Don't waste your time on people who don't care about you.

I agree with you he doesn't care about me or the things I am doing with my life. It's clear that it was always all about him. Even before he treated me like a piece of trash for a group of cool people at his church, there were several times where he was very rude and controlling with me. The last few times I associated with him, I would show him things but they were not good enough for him. The entire time, he seemed to boast about how much fun he had with his new friends at this great church but not in no time did he ever introduce me to them.
