So someone who titled themselves my best friend COMPLETELY BETRAYED my trust a couple of months ago. They then ignored me, and waited until the worst possible time to a announce themselves to me again.
I say announce because the message they sent was for them, not for me

/1

The message was along the lines of:
- I know you hate me
- everyone hates me
- I exist
- I hate me
- I need attention, but don't hate me
- you probably hate me
- say you dont_

There was no apology, or concern for MY well-being, after blowing my shit up OVER a month earlier

/2

I tried to tell this person what they did and they ignored half of it whilst apologising for the other half. Ok.

A week or so later, and they begin a message by putting a negative spin on something very personal to me, that's coming up in a day or so

/3

So suddenly I'm feeling very negative about something I wanted to celebrate, and in still waiting for an apology?

I call him out. "I need you to at least acknowledge the things you haven't apologised for"

They respond with a very long-winded message that is much the same

/4

This message being:
- how could I be so blind
- I really suck
- I'm a horrible person
- I did say those things, noone should ever say those things
- I'm sorry
- I'll try to learn
- no wonder you hate me
- I hate me_

Then they asked if I had anything else to say

/5

I said no, because they kept mentioning that they were feeling low and they're struggling atm

I said no because we'd addressed the main issues, and pointing out that it's a pattern would have felt like piling on

Then! They continued to ignore me.

/6

I get that the lockdown doesn't help, so I made the effort to message. I called, I arranged a socially distanced meet up/ errand run

It's been 2½ months since the betrayal yet I'm the only person putting effort in now

Excuse me, but am I really respecting myself here? No.
