[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Since the pandemic, people have very little left over. [/b]They are overwhelmed and barely have time to get through things for themselves and immediate loved ones.

Yes, it is ok to be sad to realize certain friends or family members don't show up when you need them to. A lot of that has happened lately.

Take this as a moment to feel sad but also develop more relationships with those who have your back, and make sure to be there for them as well. I use it as an opportunity to find more people who have the capacity for others and keep those close who are always there when I need them.[/quote]

i wondered about the pandemic factor as well. but after few more years that can't be an excuse anymore right?[/quote]

I think the first 4/5 months of the pandemic caused a permanent shift in some people and relationships. It was a trigger even that made some people change how they interact with others, and no amount of time will lead them to go back to how they were before. They have moved on from the pandemic but they will not "return to normal" -- this is their normal.

My sister cut her parents and siblings out of her life during the pandemic, and my mom kept waiting for her to come back around but it will not happen. She's gone.

Meanwhile, those early days of the pandemic solidified my friendships with a small number of people in a way that going through something very stressful and traumatic can.

These are permanent shifts.[/quote]
