Hi. I go to a predominantly white college. My non blk poc and black friends don’t understand my depression.They barely call or text me and I’m always the one to do so first.When I told them how I felt; they excuse was”I’m a bad texter, caller” and went back to kind of not checking up on me. but they are always with there phones and on social media hanging out with their friends.Nowadays when I see them I get irritated and I just don’t feel like talking to anyone anymore. I’m alone and depressed
Ooooof I can’t stand people that do that. People that do that just don’t want to deal with emotions tbh lol. It’s so much easier to just casually chit chat with people and browse social media apparently. This one of my biggest pet peeves.
You deserve much better friends that actually care about you and your well-being. I totally get how lonely it can be, but having shitty friends treat you like, well, shit, is worse than having none (I’m actually in this boat right now). If your college has a counseling program of some kind I definitely recommend looking into it, so you can get some real support to help you navigate this. Things will get better, it just takes time. Sometimes (usually) more time than we want it to, but if you stick it out it will be worth it, I promise.
Hang in there pal, I’m here for you 💙
