I graduated my Masters with a distinction and my work and friends don't seem to care
It sucks as the degree is related to my job and the team I belong to is the type that usually celebrates everything. Birthdays, life events etc. and noone even acknowledged it. It was even livestreamed but they didn't watch it.
My friends outside of work didn't even message on the day or say anything at all when I'm the one who always sends a card or flowers.
The day should have been a celebration but I just felt really lonely. I had to skip a year so didn't really know anyone in my graduating class and my parents are dead. Felt so sad seeing people having huge groups of whoops and cheering from their friends and family as they crossed. I had my husband with me and he was amazing, he is my rock but I can't help but feel sad at not having the support from people I thought I was close to.
Maybe I'm just expecting too much but I'm so tired of putting in the effort for other people and not seeing it returned.
