go around tellin' your friends in front of a crowd  that they're 'wrong' aye blunt, rude, no flamin' wonder if they've got a problem, aye

how 'bout you flamin' tell me when I done that?

Have you thought of getting your dog seen to by a "I don't know what" but that dog would see me running a mile.

Seriously I have felt that for the last year or so and in a way I know why but it doesn't make it any easier when I am feeling unwell or lonely or down in the dumps.

i sometimes feel very selfish and me me me  thinking that way about my friends because I have some difficulty getting out and about so haven't been able to seen them much this last year and without going into all the details they are very busy helping another friend who has had some very major tragedies in the last year leaving her in a terrible way. If I had gone through those tragedies my friends would be busy helping me so I can't complain. I know they will be there if ever needed.

just do what i do dont have friends

Lol!!..... I sooo identify with that! ...

.... I am one of those that waits for friends to contact me. ....:)

OP, try dropping off the map for a while, those that contact you to check on your welfare are the ones that really are your friends.

I admit I am hopeless at keeping contact with friends - there are just so many of them to think about and life is too busy.

But I have lots of friends that are like you happyroo and they keep calling me. I am very (VERY!)  grateful that they do cause I'd be friendless without them. 🙂

Thanks everyone for your replies.

I've decided to cut back on the contact a bit, not so often and I'll still be friendly to them.

Lack of sleep can mess with your mind. :^O

Yes that can be very revealing and one way of finding out who cares
