Ex texts out of nowhere. Then ex calls. We have a two hour talk. Ex tells me she's lonely, this despite the fact that she's just finished college and works at Whole Foods, which is chock full of her type of people, many of them young. Ex tells me she spends a lot of time alone. Tells me she's only gone out with one guy in the year and a half we broke up, and she broke it off "because it wasn't working out". Ex tells me most people her age bore the hell out of her. Says she wants to get together, so we make plans to meet on the weekend. Which she bails on. Then it's gonna be Tuesday. She never calls. Finally I call Tuesday night, no one answers. Voice mail full. Is her phone fucked up? I don't know.
I do know that for the first time in a long time, I had that horrible feeling of anxiety, couldn't sleep, kept my head down most of he day. Sucks when you're a teacher. My students immediately sensed something was wrong and were uncharacteristically quiet. I just texted awhile ago, a simple message: "I don't understand what's going on." Maybe the phone IS broken. Maybe she's confused. Maybe I don't understand what's going on.
Any input is greatly appreciated, especially from females. This hurts. It hurts my head, and it hurts my heart.

You don't have to be her friend or be her support. You don't have to give her the benefit of the doubt, either.
