Rising Renewal
I’m curious as to whether this thread is alive and will receive a response.
There’s me and another person, let’s call them Nemo (why Nemo? no specific reason, just sounded
snazzy )
Nemo and I have been friends for nearly a year now. Nemo’s in Year 12, I’m in Year 11. We’re not together romantically and never have been, although, we have confessed feelings for each other but don’t want to rush into anything despite friends and others “shipping” us and encouraging a romantic relationship.
First I’ll provide a bit of context. I’m a person who thinks it is courtesy to reach out to someone when you haven’t heard from someone in a while, and I often expect the same in return because I believe that’s the bare minimum of a friendship. Nemo has a history of mental health problems; this comment will make sense later.
In saying that, I recently had a health scare which meant I didn’t contact Nemo for a good week and this follows from us contacting each other every day. As someone who spoke with Nemo every day, I would have expected that they would have reached out to ask if I was okay, and they didn’t.
I expressed my disappointment with Nemo, to which they said I don’t understand what they’re going through with the stress of HSC and the whole world against them. I agree with that, however, this is the second time this has happened. I find that when I “disappear from the face of the Earth” due to a health scare, when I return and ask why it is that Nemo didn’t reach out, they always say they haven’t been in the best place mentally.
What hurt the most is that Nemo’s told me “I love you” on so many occasions, but yet said that they don’t know what love is and never will. Of course, that made me realise, how can you say “I love you” if you don’t even know what love is? In that case, it’s just been a lie.
So I’d like to ask, as individuals on the outside of this situation, which one of us is in the wrong? Does it seem like a relationship worth keeping (and not necessarily in a romantic sense)?
Feel free to ask any questions for further clarification.
