Do you ever feel like people really let you down...and so many at one time?

Have you ever come to realize that so many people who you thought had an interest in you and your welfare, just don't care that much anymore? If you were no longer here, how long do you think most of them would realize that you were gone? Once they did, how would they react? This is not true of all people who have many people around them, but it is true of many. They are so used to having them around that they don't stop to think what it would be like without them...and what it would be like to be alone...and not be able drive. They don't have to stop and think about it because they have so many people/family in their lives. Being busy, many times they don't think about people in that situation whom they once said they cared about. Also true, they think if you have a significant other in your life, you don't need anyone else. Many times people think that way for themselves and everyone else.

I think I understand what you are getting at MsBooklover.
I often think about these things too.
It is like some people live in a complete daydream world with happy times and picnics and noodle salad..and others live in the distant world of being alone, sometimes scared, and unable to do some things that might be helpful.
I know for a fact that many would not notice if I were not around. Its fine with me though, I accept that.

@MsBooklover Yes that is what I know about some people especially with family. I am sorry it is that way for you also.

About two people would know I was gone. Most of my family would never know....Years could go by. Some people are so busy turning people against others, they aren't focused on the well-being of others.

Sad but true. I don't have a significant other, my X passed away two years ago next month, and I don't have any male friends that could become significant other's either. I do have one very good friend. All the rest of my friends are here on myLot.

@MsBooklover Looks can be deceiving. There are days when I don't have anything together, but lately, all that has changed. As I type this I realize I haven't had a bad day in a long time. Not since I started reading Battle Plan for Prayer and learned how to pray. I'm reading it through for the third time. It never gets old. Learning to pray is the most important thing we can do as Christians.

@just4him I just looked at it on Amazon.com. I earn Amazon.com dollars, and they add up. So...I put it in my Amazon.com box so that I can order it. Looking forward to it.

Yes I have seen such people and if we have significant people in our life we don't need anyone to rely on

Everyone is busy. It always irks me when people say "I've been thinking about you" and they don't follow up with contact of some kind. But then I can't throw stones because I do the same thing. If I contacted everyone I thought of I'd get even less accomplished than I do now. I'd be contacting other people most of the time every day, lol. So when people don't contact me, I think well they're busy, they have their own lives and they are wrapped up in it. But sometimes, it isn't that, either. So usually I'm the one who reaches out to them. Otherwise how would I know they're even still alive?
I'm reminded of a scene from the movie Dances with Wolves: Why don't she write?
Dances With Wolves (1990) This is an extended scene where Dunbar and Timmons come across an old broken down wagon and the skeleton of a man who was killed by...

Yes, everyone has his or her own life.
