    Hey @BensonE, how have you been? It sounds like you’ve been feeling a bit abandoned by the people around you — and even though you know deep down it’s not really about you, it’s still making you question your relationships. I’ve felt that way too, honestly. There were times when it seemed like others couldn’t make time for me or were pulling away, even though I knew I’d always show up for them.

    Sometimes when both we and the people in our lives are struggling, it’s harder to maintain the same level of contact — even when we care deeply. It can be lowkey annoying and frustrating because it's sudden. However, what matters most is that when they do come back, the sense of safety and comfort between you still feels the same. Do you feel that's what happens with your friends and partner?
    It can also really help to remind them that you’re there for them, maybe with a quick check-in or message, just to keep that connection open. I hope this helps:)
