I noticed that when people sympathize with me about the problems I have getting resources or help, they immediately offer to help. Then when the time comes when I do need help, one says, oh I’m the champ of getting people help. I asked for help, the calls and texts go unanswered, the excuses start – saying phone is broke, I’ve been so swamped, but Facebook shows a much different story.
Another one, I’m told, oh I’m sorry I’m not myself I need a couple of weeks, I will call you, I promise, and then the weeks turn into 2 now going on 3 months. The same person posts pictures on Facebook drinking, partying, going to weddings, boating.
I help someone for years on things and the person says, I will help you because you’ve helped me so much. Then I ask for help, I get the rolling eyes and oh I don’t want to drive to far or they say I gotta go. I think for me it would be easier if you just don’t offer anything. This way, it’s easier for me instead of wondering, waiting, trying to figure out how to get food, meds, clean apartment, etc.
Truly annoying and a huge let down. Makes me wonder about people sometimes.
