This is happening to me, too. I am noticing that I just don't see the world the way that most people do. It baffles me. Especially longtime friends who say "I really want to see you soon" and then months go by without so much as a phone call. And it's not one of those relationships where you pick right up where you left off and know that you both have been busy - it is more that things feel strained, no one will address any underlying disagreement, and she doesn't call.
Or when I asked another friend: "I haven't heard from you in a long time and I notice that you always decline my invitations. Have I done something to offend you that I need to apologize for?"
her: "I will call you this afternoon." no call.
me: "I look forward to hearing from you."
her: "I need a break from all this conflict."

it is happening in all of my relationships and I hate it. It's like I have been living in a haze as to how people really act vs. what they say. Not just my XAH and his crazy family, but so many former friends.
