Grief is unwieldy and can be very isolating.
Suddenly, you cant keep up, and responding to texts seems like a burden.
So what do you do when your friend is upset when you cant respond to texts?
However, one friend wasnt understanding of this.
Most of their friends could understand because they knew that they were grieving.
Initially, it seemed inconsequential to the OPgroup chats can be overwhelming, after all.
They texted the friend privately to ask if they were okay, but there was no response.
The same thing happened three weeks later.
The same friend left an Instagram group chat after they texted.
The OP reached out privately to ask if something was wrong, only to be met with silence.
They reached out to their mutual friend who mentioned that their friend was doing fine.
Lets be honest: theres no right way togrieve.
And small, simple thingslike sharing cute videosmight provide some comfort for people.
But for the OPs friend, this came across as contradictory.
The OP apologized and sent invitations to meet up, but they were still met with silence.
And now they wonder if theyre being unreasonable to think the friend is doing too much.
Netizens believed the OPs friend to be self-centered and lacking empathy.
Many found it baffling that she made the grieving persons tragedy about herself.
Grieving is often difficult, and the OP just didnt want to be overwhelmed.
Do you think their friends behavior was justified, or do you agree that it was selfish?
We would love to hear your thoughts!
