Why are people so mean and unkind?

**Vent** Seeking coping techniques.

I made some good friends online and gonna meet them soon. I met this friend online and we have been chatting and learning about each others’ lives a lot since 3-4 months. We had a lot of fun, and shared our joy and sadness, so much that we became friends on Facebook and even exchanged our phone numbers and since we live in different cities, we planned to meet when I visit her city and be friends in real life too. A few days ago, we decided we would do a video call and ever since, she’s not sent me a single message like she used to! Since 4-5 days, I’ve been trying to get in touch with her to let her know that I am gonna be in her city soon, and sent a few msgs on messenger and even on her phone but she has completely ghosted me (Obviously, just one-two per day. I’m not a psycho)!! I feel like a worthless piece of shit right now. She comes online and goes. I have observed that she’s deliberately ignoring my messages! I’m so hurt and broken!! Have you ever been ghosted like this? How the heck did you cope after sharing so much with this person and thought you found a bff?? 😓 I just don’t wanna make friends anymore!!! I’m so exhausted. I’m an empath and I’m a friendly person. My bad, I just open up and trust easily I guess. I even bought some gifts for her and wanted to give when we met but now I would probably not visit her city at all!! I just wish I make better choices at making friends or just slow down!!!

Thank you for hearing me out.
