Feelings hurt. Am I too sensitive? About a week ago, someone I consider a close friend for the last 17 years, had triple bypass surgery. She was in the hospital for just three days, then came home. She emailed me last Wednesday to let me know. I sent her a PajamaGram. PJ's etc. in a really nice hat box, with some get well wishes tucked inside. I know it was delivered Friday morning. I have not heard a peep from her. She has been online at least twice, updating a care page she has for her father who recently went through cancer treatment. He is doing well. She mentioned in the blog that she would be going to church today, as per usual. Is it a bit much to expect a quick email with a thank you? Some acknowledgment of the gift? If she is not too tired to be online updating her blog and to go to church, should she not have enough energy to say "thank you"? Am I being too sensitive? |
You are not too sensitive . |
I agree - you are so NOT being too sensitive. I'd feel bad too - If I were your friend..... a big 'thank you' to my thoughtful friend would be a priority. That was very very nice of you. I'm sorry.... |
I would call and ask did she get them. I'd be hurt as well. |
You are definitely not being too sensitive. Perhaps it';s just slipped her mind with all she went through and posting for her dad. Try sending her an email or calling her and ask if she's enjoying the pjs -did she like the color or something. I'll bet she catches her breath in embarrassment and says "OMGoodness, I completely forgot, I'm sooooo sorry." I hope it all works out well. |
I don't think you are to sensitive. She needs to at least acknowledge that she received your gift, also I think she owes you an apology.... |

sounds like she has a lot going on and maybe she just wants to wait until she has some quiet time to call you and thank you. |

That's what I was thinking. We never know what all is going on at the other end. I am sure she was very happy to receive your gift. That was a wonderful gesture. I can totally understand you feeling bad. It is only natural. She could have simply overlooked her "Thank You" by mistake with all she had to deal with, or was waiting for a better time. It wouldn't hurt to call her and see how shes recovering and ask if she received/enjoyed them. If she is that close of a friend, please don't let something as small as this come between you. Talk to her. Hugs, Nancy |
I think she may have a lot of emotions these days...that's a pretty big operation. A close call with death may have her consumed with scarey thoughts these days. I think, being the close friend you are, you will understand that she may not be able to discuss her situation yet. I have a very close friend who has had several heart attacks and did much the same. She really went into a cacoon for awhile. She has to adjust to the shock of almost "loosing" it all. My advise...try to think of what she's going thru and forget the "thank you." It was a very nice thing for you to do...what a great gift idea! |

With things like this, I like to actually write out a thank you note and mail it as it seems more special to me than just an e-mail or phone call to thank them. Maybe that is her plan? |
I'm scratching my head on this one. I emailed my friend. She received the package, said she like the PJs, but still no "thank you" or "it was so nice of you", it was almost as if it was expected. I would rather not think that. Maybe those words are not in her vocabulary?:confused: |
You're not being too sensitive. You deserve a thank you for such a kind gesture and nice gift. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she is going to send you a thank you card in the mail? |
