Article: My friend group suddenly ghosted me without explanation, and I blamed myself. I'm still learning to trust people again.

Probably just some clickbait made up story, but one question I have after reading it, why doesn't the person even try to go into what they may have been doing to drive this friend group away? ZERO about any thought on the idea that maybe they themselves were doing something to drive these other people away.

Paragraph after paragraph on the supposed damage done to her by them, but no self reflection.

Is this common with younger people these days?

A couple of hours later, I saw that everyone had posted Instagram stories with each other. Feeling betrayed, I texted everyone asking why I was not invited to this secret hangout, only to be met with no replies. That was the last time I spoke to them.

We had been friends for a few years, as we all lived in the same apartment complex growing up. We used to hang out several times a week, but slowly, they distanced themselves from me.

For years after my friends outcasted me, I gave excuses for their behaviors. I told myself they just weren't in the right mind space to maintain conversations. There were other points where I blamed myself and felt nothing but self-loathing.

Nothing drives me away from a person faster than them freaking out because I haven't returned their call within 30 seconds.

Our age group would have done the same thing if we are youngsters today, I think, Marty.

Well that's a pretty good condemnation of modern parenting and education.

I think modern parenting from conservative to liberal, from religious to atheist/agnostic are nothing but messes.

Improve education? Somehow make the parents involved.
