Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : A close friend of my has been experiencing, at times, debilitating depression over the years. It can get pretty bad and it often causes him to spiral into isolation, ghosting friends and family from communication. I love the dude, and want to support him so bad, but every time we successfully connect and arrange to chill, he bails on me at the last minute. This would be manageable if he didn't live an hour away - I've often made the drive over to his town and once I get there, he ghosts me and won't answer my calls or texts. What he's experiencing sucks. It sucks so bad, but I feel my efforts are vein and I don't know how much longer I'm willing to put my foot forward. Maybe I should take a step back and wait for him to reach out to me instead. Am I the asshole?
