It is a very painful experience when the people around you begin to abandon you and turn their backs on you for one reason or the other. After reading this, you will come to understand why most of the time, I like to spend time by myself alone somewhere to reflect on certain decisions I have made and continue to make when it comes to the people around me or people I call my friends.
It has become an undisputed fact that the wise saying "NO MAN IS AN ISLAND AND NO MAN STANDS ALONE" and an African Proverb from Kaakyire Akosombo Nyantekyi's book, " THE ANCESTORAL SACRIFICE" says that " I AM BECAUSE WE ARE AND WE ARE BECAUSE I AM" has come a long way to prove that we are communal beings and therefore we need people around us in one way or another to survive. However it is very painful when these same people who are supposed to help you live in a community, try and make you feel happy and wanted are the same ones who turn to reject you and make you feel unwanted for maybe making a single mistake or saying something that might hurt them. They don't give you a chance to explain or defend yourself but they would demand a chance to defend whatever they did to you that was bad.
I have bitter experiences with people who I cared about, trusted and would do anything for. I couldn't believe that within a twinkle of an eye, I had lost that friendships I put my all to establish over the years. Sometimes I meet people who will tell me all sorts of things as in always going to be there for me when I need them but when they get what they want from me, they turn thier backs. Sometimes when I try to keep in touch, they make it seem like am trying to be a bother so nowadays, I have decided not to allow people to use me and I have also decideed to turn my back on those who turn thier backs on me.
