Venting they only care when it happens

[hao☆]

recently, I have been cutting myself to cope and earlier, some of my friends noticed my wounds. Now, I'm usually very careful at hiding these, like cutting my shoulders or thighs, but i was wearing a tank top, when my friends noticed my cuts on my shoulder. Their usual not caring about me, and whenever i vent to them they just shrug it off or just plain don't give a fuck, and tell me to "try meeting people's standards next time" attitude disappeared. They were asking me if I were okay, and if i needed help i could talk to them. My number one question is, why? why whenever i show tendencies of wanting to die or, plain harming myself they just don't care? It's as if i'm only there because you want to use me as a tool to show people that you care about me, it's like they don't care about me, they just want to use me, over and over again.

I feel like 99% of the time people just use "you can always talk to me" as a way to make themselves look/feel like a good person whilst having zero intentions to follow through when someone actually needs them. Very few give a fuck to help shoulder other peoples' burdens. And you know what, I get it… we're all dealing with our own shit and that's hard enough. But still, I wish they wouldn't mask as a shoulder to cry on if they know they don't actually want to be that person when it counts.

It's why I don't ever talk to people anymore. It's all just so fake.

Idk, if they're really just always dismissive of your venting and don't continue to show that they genuinely care, you should ask yourself if they're friends worth having. You deserve to have your feelings taking seriously with or without physical markings on your body.
