These replies are a little harsh, jeez. It’s completely reasonable to feel the way you do. Most people would in your shoes. However, it’s also reasonable of the people you left behind to feel the way you do. If you weren’t close to them, they’re not gonna feel much or have much to say.

I experienced something very similar emotionally once, but in an entirely different situation. I felt alone and frustrated, but after a while, I realized I had built up a fake version of my connection to other people in my mind. I wasn’t close to certain people, and they weren’t close to me, so it was silly of me to think, “Well, these circumstances are special. They should care about this one thing.” It wasn’t wrong for me to feel upset, but it was important not to hang on to it and to accept reality as it was, not what I wanted it to be.

One of my biggest frustrations with reddit is how poorly people read posts. Sometimes I feel like no one reads past the first paragraph, they just run to the comments.
