Quite a few people do this 🤔

It's truly disheartening when people around us say 'I got you' as a way to show support or promise help, only to later forget about us or fail to follow through. This experience is more common than one might think, and it can leave one feeling unimportant or taken for granted. From personal experience, I've noticed that this often happens due to a mix of busy lives, forgetfulness, or sometimes a lack of genuine intention. People might say 'I got you' to be polite or to avoid an awkward moment, but without real commitment. Recognizing this pattern can help you manage your expectations and reduce disappointment. One way to cope is to communicate clearly and set reminders for mutual commitments. If someone says they'll support you, politely ask for details or timelines to encourage accountability. It's equally important to build a support system of reliable people who truly value their promises. Remember, your worth isn't defined by how others treat their commitments, but by how you approach relationships and self-care. Surround yourself with those who go beyond words to show genuine care and support. Learning to identify and handle such situations wisely can contribute significantly to emotional well-being and stronger, trustworthy friendships.
