I hate when people close to me ignore me

25.07.2025

I have finished an artwork for one of my closest friends today, and I submitted it on Etsy as a special gift on his address. It was for his birthday, which passed because I could not finish it on time in May, and in June it was exam season so I took it upon myself to do it in July. I have probably spent 100+ hours on it because I was drawing digitally and I was not really familiar with shading and coloring on there. But I am pleased with how it turned out.

Since I came home, that friend was dry through text or just not reacting to my reels, but that really was not a problem for me because it was just reels, and generally my standards are low so I do not expect much. I asked him once about this and he just replied that it was not being dry with just me, but with everyone irl and through text. I told him it is okay, and as long as there is something I am always there.

Anyways, this past week I was really getting annoyed when I tried texting him for things that require to be answered in a day, and he would just ignore my texts all together. I asked him, do you want me to get you anything here, he did not reply. Worst thing is I bought him a sketchbook that he can carry with him on trips, because he also wants to draw but he never got the time or tools for it. I told him, I am coming to our University town on the 27th because I am moving out, he did not reply whatsoever. Today I asked him for his address again because he told me he needs to confirm it, but I asked him in a way which did not give it away that it was a surprise. I needed him to confirm quick yes or no so I told him to open his messages. He said I cannot I am not at home. Does it take rocket science to tell me yes,no, or I don't know I will let you know later? So I just sent him a straight face emoji and he just replied with another sticker. And i left it at that. It pisses me off. I should not take this personally because I have not done anything that he could be mad at me about, but I feel disrespected on how much I try.

What's funnier is today Instagram had a bug where I could not send him reels, and I asked him about it he said idk maybe god is leading me to the right path, which I replied with "I'm disappointed" 

I thought he restricted me in sending him reels but when I tried to send another reel to another friend he did not show up either so I relogged and it was fixed. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something?...
