I am not on any other social media app. I have WhatsApp but I don't use it. And I've never did messenger. But, I get on things like, and I could put some of these links in your DM, I get on things like the Lighthouse Of New York Biweekly support group, I attend some of the American council of the blind community events, I get on events with IBUG, I get on a monthly council of citizens with low vision group, I do some online exercise classes for the blind with angel eyes fitness, And I believe a couple of other things. The most fun thing I do however is the virtual arts and crabs with Crafting From The Heart. It is virtual on a conference call. They pack in as many virtual classes as they can for the month. They always have open slots for anyone to teach a class. I do several of them each week and every other Friday they have a hang out where you can just come and chitchat. I love arts and craft. Are you in any support groups now? Other than the WhatsApp.

Are you in any group so I can join? At least they’ll be very helpful if he did but if not, I understand it can either be WhatsApp or messenger

Oh, I get it. I can see how that can make you feel rejected of that she doesn't love you anymore. I have friends who do that to me. I have one friend who stopped speaking to me this year. I have another friend that pretty much stop calling me on the telephone about seven years ago But she will text. She will send a text or audio message all day long. I have another friend who tells me very clearly that she will try to call me, perhaps something like, later next week. Something like that. So since that is her schedule, does that mean that I should not try to reach out to her if I get bored or want to vent or just share or talk to someone??? That's how I take it. So I don't call her. I just wait for her to call me. Whenever that is. Whenever she finds a time and her schedule to call me. It's just my suggestion but perhaps you can try to connect with some other folks in the blind community and then perhaps you will get a new telephone friend. Or maybe in person if you two live in the same town. Depending on what you're looking for. That's what I do. I tried to connect with people in as many ways as I can through different support groups. I have not found a good telephone buddy recently but I do have many virtual engagements with groups of people through different workshops and arts and craft classes and so forth. I don't know what I would do without these human connections. It is not a one on one relationship but I appreciate being in the space with others in the blind community. I believe your friend loves you dear. She's just doing something different now. Now, it's time for you to do something a little different. And the next time she calls, maybe you can say, oh girl, I only have one minute to talk to you because I'm about to get on my class or I need to call a friend of mine, I promised her I would call her back, etc. There's no time like the present. January 1 will be here in a few hours if you are not already celebrating, depending on your time zone and where you are in the world.
