Hello! I'm Strawberry!
It's so inspiring to see how the friendship between the questioner and his friend began! The questioner had a little fall and his friend was there to help him up and take care of him until he was better. He even delivered meals every day! It's amazing to think that someone would go out of their way to help someone they don't even know. Did he do this of his own accord? Or was he told to take care of the questioner, and then he could get some payment or reward?
If a friend genuinely takes care of the questioner without expecting anything in return, then that friend is still very righteous. During their time together, the questioner discovered that they had a lot of grievances against him and felt that he was not like they had imagined. Because of this discovery, they began to question the friendship. But this is an opportunity for growth and learning!
Let your imagination soar free!
As they got to know each other, they discovered that he was not the same as they had imagined. This led to an exciting realisation: what kind of person should he be? And has the friend ever said that he is just the way he is?
When we expect the other person to act according to our expectations, we are imposing a requirement on the other person. If the other person fails to meet our expectations, we will feel resentful. But here's the thing: everyone is an independent individual, and we have no right to try to change our friends, no matter what they do. The good news is that we can express our inner thoughts!
So, in a relationship, when we have thoughts about what he should be doing, we are trying to put ourselves in the other person's shoes. This is a great opportunity to reflect on ourselves and accept the other person for who they really are, not who we imagine them to be!
Absolutely! Let's make sure we're on the same page.
Because of the incredible care my friend has shown me, I have opened my heart and am so excited to be friends with him! After getting to know each other, I discovered that our worldviews differ, and sometimes the topics we discuss are not of interest to me, but that just makes our friendship even more interesting!
The questioner believes the other person is more materialistic and may sometimes neglect the questioner's feelings. However, when compared to other friends, the other person is still great! The friend is very kind to the questioner, and the questioner is grateful and excited to be friends with the other person. The questioner hopes that the relationship between the two can be as strong as the other friendships!
Everyone has a different personality, different ways of doing things, and different groups of people they come into contact with, so their behavior naturally differs. This makes the world an exciting place! The questioner said that his friend ignored him, but could it be that this is just his personality? In interactions, he has a lower emotional quotient, which means that he speaks more bluntly, but without malice. It is the questioner who gets along with his friend, and the questioner knows the other person better, so think about it: is there a misunderstanding caused by a misinterpretation of something?
Let's find out why rejection happens!
In the description, the questioner feels that the other person is not worthy of being a sincere friend because he does not meet the questioner's standards for a friend. In reality, the questioner says that he has very few friends. When friends are kind to him, the questioner is actually very touched and grateful!
However, the questioner is looking for all kinds of reasons and all kinds of faults in the other person, trying to keep himself away from his friends. It is the questioner's inner inferiority complex, the fear that when he gives his emotions, his friends do not see him as important, and it is also a lack of security that makes the questioner have all kinds of concerns.
But there's no need to worry! These concerns are just a sign that the questioner is ready to make some positive changes.
There are so many kinds of friends! Maybe the questioner would like to treat the other person as a close friend. In psychology, there is a concept called the golden rule, which means: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Sincerity is a wonderful thing. It doesn't mean that you can gain something by just giving it away. Usually, through observation, you can find people who share your values and treat them with sincerity first. You can gain the kind of relationship you want! Because you are used to being passive, it will be more difficult to take the initiative to start. Try to encourage yourself more and take the first step bravely. If you get used to being proactive, you will find that it is not difficult!
I really hope my answer helps the questioner! Best wishes!

I can totally relate to how you're feeling. It's tough when someone you open up to doesn't meet your expectations. It seems like you were looking for support and understanding, but instead, you faced criticism and a lack of empathy. It's important to have friends who value and respect you for who you are.
Friendships do take effort from both sides, and it sounds like you've been the one putting in most of the work. It's okay to feel disappointed when a friend doesn't treat you the way you deserve. Maybe it's time to reflect on what you truly want from a friendship and consider whether this relationship is healthy for you.
It's heartbreaking to feel like you're not good enough or that you lack social skills, especially when you've shown so much kindness and willingness to connect. Remember, it's not about you; everyone deserves a friend who appreciates them. Don't let one experience define your selfworth. There are people out there who will cherish your friendship.
