Lacks sensitivity

Alright guys, I am actually here to rant. Yea, alot of things happen around us and somehow you can’t help but just wonder whether people are simply daft or they lack sensitivity cause what in the name of relationship do you call this.

I am not someone who doesn’t know how to not listen. But sometimes I just winder about the kind of people I get to meet sometimes or the ones I call friends. That’s why somehow I just tend to stay on my own cos I don’t know why you would call yourself someone’s friend and not go the extra mile for the person you call friend.

Or maybe they listen and they actually know what you want but are just too stingy or not sensitive to understand what you actually need. Well, what about when you go out of your way to spell out the need time and time again and the person acts daft to it. What do you make out of that because that can never be me. I dont understand that kind of attitude and it’s irritates me. I would never treat someone whom I call a friend like that.

Okay for example, for the last few days spanning into weeks, I had been very down even though I started feeling better some days ago. Last four days has been the brightest I have been in close to two months now. I was so down that I think I was battling depression. It was so bad that I couldn’t eat much. I can stay from morning till night and I had not eaten. Sometimes I am hungry but no strength to fix something to eat or sometimes I am not hungry until night .

I had been very moody and it was affecting everything around me. My friends began to notice and one of my senior colleagues once called me to ask what the matter was. He said he saw sadness in my eyes. I didn’t know it was that bad. That was the peak of the moment. The day I went to tell him my ordeals and what I was battling with, I cried and cried and he told me that he can’t help me but that he commends me to God to keep praying about the whole issues I was going through.

I came back still in my down state but one thing got me bewildered. There’s this friend of mine who is actually very comfortable especially financially. Well, he noticed my mood and would always press me to tell him what the issues was and why I am depressed and all cos he said he cared. I told him that what I was going through he can’t sort out for me but that the only one he can sort is helping financially which of course he was more than able to help.

He said money? And gave me this 😏 emoji on our chat. I didn’t say anything else. Everyday he keeps calling and pressing me to tell him my issues. I repeated myself over and again that where he can to come in was financially that the other areas he can’t sort it for me and for every time I mentioned it, he said nothing till date. He keeps bugging me with calls and clamoring about how he cares. On one of the occasions he said that he knows that if it was him that I would have done everything to make sure he was fine except sending him money.

I told him that he was wrong. That I would have sent him the money as least the much I had even if it’s not all. I wasn’t even asking for so much. I was only asking for about 40 hive equivalent in our currency. I even later asked for 20 hive equivalent but he sent a sticker in reply an he kept quiet and didn’t say anything again till date. Yet he keeps calling every now and then claiming he cares. Please my people what kind of care is this? I was so irritated that my irritation has turned into complacency and this same person is complaining how I don’t check up on him anymore and all.

I am still bewildered and wondering how could people be so insensitive? I would never do this to a friend and yet you needed to see how he keeps claiming he cares…what do I do with this kind of person ?
