At what point in a friendship is it OK to say 'miserable' when they ask you how you're doing?
How can 'I feel abandoned' be made to sound like a statement and not an accusation?

No one's been around. And Katrina hasn't written back to me. And neither has Amanda, who I wrote to at the end of December. And I talked to this girl Mary from CMS, and it was nice, but I got the feeling she wasn't interested in talking to me, and... I just feel alone.
And kind of unwanted.

And the explanation is always the same, because we all mean well but we're all busy, too. And that's understandable. But there's a little voice in the back my head that whispers that I'm just not important enough for anyone to make time for me. The fact is that nobody needs me. And I miss being needed.

-hug- It's okay to feel miserable, and it's certainly okay to tell your friends that. They are there for you to be honest with them. You are also completely justified to tell a friend if you feel like they are ignoring you, even if you know that they aren’t doing it on purpose (and I hope you know that true friends certainly never purposely ignore their friends). Sometimes that’s the way it has to be.

I know my friends have been getting on my case of late, because they feel like I’ve been neglecting them, and I feel bad because it’s true to a point. I’ve not been making the time I should for many of even my particularly close friends, unintentional though it may be. But I’m glad that they tell me, and all of your friends should be glad that you would tell them if you feel like that.

And I know what it feels like to feel cut off from most everyone. Granted it’s never been as long as you’ve been gone, but it affected me such that I know how hard it must be for you. Know that we are all thinking of you over here, and keep you in our prayers.
