yes, as OP said, ungratefulness --- I too have a similar story.  I helped someone who was in dire strats and that person was going through a divorce. After that mess, that person invited me to go to on a resort vacation with that person.  I paid for my own airfare and resort expenses.  That person had a timeshare we stayed in for the trip.  Anyway, that person had a meltdown -- blamed me for silly things, and said I had to have my way on all the activities.  Uh, we planned the week's schedule together in advance of the trip.  Long story short, it's been 7 years and we still do not speak to each other.  I have thought about calling to sort things out, but nah, too much time has passed and that ship has sailed.

@vickyh2  Something similar happened to my daughter. She went to NYC with a close friend who had a meltdown of some sort. It was very strange and they have never spoken to each other again. My daughter tried talking to her and even apologizing for anything that could have possibly offended her but the friend blew off the friendship.

@Foxxee   Unfortunately, I don't see that problem ending anytime soon.

When people cannot agree on what the FACTS are, there is no coming together or negotiating.

The division just keeps growing.

Sadly I agree with you.  No one wants to take the time to find out the truth for themselves.  Many just accept what they are told.  We are not going to find the truth through the news.  We have to research it ourselves.

I'd have to say that ingratitude really bothers me. I helped out a friend who was really in dire straits; with money and other things. She finally got a job (I wrote her a glowing letter of recomommendation) and then I didn't hear from her again...until she posted that she'd been out with some "good friends" and of course I wasn't included.

I asked her about it and received such a nasty response that it was like a slap in the face. I was really shocked. Needless to say, I haven't tried to reconnect with her.

It bothers me when someone cannot look at both sides of a story/situation....all in this world is neither black or white...you should be able to see/understand there is always a grey area in life too.

Whataboutism, immature coworkers who refuse to be professional, racism, misogyny, and all other kinds of bigotry. Narcissists, condescending people, snobs. Lack of empathy, selfishness. Pretentious people

The way that many of us treat each other.  Our country is more divisive right now than any time I can remember.
