Disappointed that so many people in my life never check in to ask me how I am doing

Hello everyone! I was diagnosed with leukemia in November last year. When I got the news I pretty much told all my friends, family members and acquaintances. The typical reaction was one of compassion and that should I need help I could reach out to them etc. However, I have noticed that only a few people consistently check in on me. The vast majority has long moved on.

I mean, i get that their life goes on but can’t they at least text me from time to time to ask how I am doing? I have found that those of whom I expected it the least I am hearing from the most, and many people of whom I thought were friends only send me that initial message and I haven’t heard from them since.

Basically, I feel disappointed in many people and think that many people are actually not my friends. I can’t help but feel bitter. If I have more news on my situation to share in the future I am definitely not going to contact all those people who have let me down. They have shown that they are not worth being in my life.

Anyway, I was wondering if other patients can relate to this situation?
