I am not sure how to not be used by other people, need help
So, I have this friend of mine, and while them disappearing is not exactly uncommon, we have known each other for two years now and I am starting to get upset because of HOW they disappear.
When they need help with things like moving out, needing resources or help, or otherwise a way they can use me, they are eagerly in contact and always available. When I mentioned that an ex-friend of theirs reached out to me, they are there.
But when I just want to hang out with them as friends, they haven't talked to me in nine weeks. And this is after they said they would be free and able to plan next week. Radio silence for over two months.
I ended up messaging them and told them that just in the same way they communicated when I was wanting to hang out too much, and I was being "clingy", I told them that in the same way I would like to hear from them at least in the form a of a "hey I'm not dead" text once a month.
Still nothing.
I don't really know how to handle this or interpret it. #relationships
