I have this … I come home. Eat. And go to sleep super early and sleep all night now. And still am tired.
Get up to go to work and do it all over again.
Vicious cycle.

Archer's porn bombing was the greatest example of giving zero fricks I have seen here.

Yep…and working from home for the past two years is not helping at all…no separation between work life and home life.

In most cases this is simply a platitude. I would hold no ill will for the people who didn't come through but would take note of those who did and invest more into those relationships. Even if you could tell they didn't want to be there or talk to you, they took time out of their busy days to do so. You are likely letting grief for your father make you more sensitive to such things which is understandable.
Take some time away when possible so you can mentally unpack all of your feelings on this and your fathers passing and you will feel better.

Maybe, I just know me. I guess I expect too much out of ppl. But I take friendship very seriously. I have driven over night hundreds of miles to help someone. Taken off work for friends to help them. Missed personal events for someone who needed me. It just deeply bothers me how some have acted since. Especially from a few people that I never in a million years would have expected this

I got to that point in my life and marriage two years ago. Once that changed, nothing will stop me from the happiness I deserve. I now live for my kids and me. Nothing or no one else. If it doesn’t make my kids or me happy, I’m out.
Sorry for your loss. Dig down and find the things that make life worth living for. Once you find them, embrace them daily. Don’t let anything get in your way. If others don’t like you, frick them. They’re dead to you now. You don’t need that rhetoric in your life any longer. Those that you know that still check on you…. Those are your people. Embrace them.

Yeah. But then I got tired of not caring so I started back, for now.

Expectation is the root of disappointment. Expect the worst and your life will be full of pleasant surprises. When you help someone, anyone, do not do so with expectation. The people that constantly need help are those who are least likely to give help in return as if they were responsible people they likely wouldn't need that help in the first place.

I would refer you to my first post in this thread.

If you want a guaranteed return on your investment in a being, get a dog and treat it well. It doesn't work that way with humans. You need to forgive those that you believe have slighted you as you are the one holding on to those negative emotions, not them and if you are grieving the loss of your father you don't need to pile more negative emotions on yourself.

Yes. Every-time I get to that point I start a thread about it.

I think everyone does. You will find a way out of it. Alcohol and drugs will make it worse. You have to get your frame of mind right.

I've been that was since 6th grade

PTiger,
Is it possible that you are better at taking the bull by the horns and seeing a need before the person has to ask for help than those around you? Your friends may not have the instincts or talent to help until you ask them.
That is very hard on you, since it seems obvious to an extrovert that they should make the outreach first, but if they are used to you taking the lead in hard times, they may be waiting until you actually say you want to visit or talk about your loss?
Anger about loss can often bounce around and land on targets that aren't really to blame for it. Don't lose more than you have to.
Not trying to soft sell how hard that is on you, just trying to put some perspective on it.
Sorry you are going thru this, your posts on TD are part of the wit and vibe of this place.

Sorry about your week, tg10- as you know some weeks are better than others - hope you heal physically and emotionally soon
Also, Ponchy, sorry about your dad, too. Burying my dad was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, not sure if I’m over it and it’s been 16 years - sorry about your crappy friends
