Would you just ignore someone crying about a baby having a seizure?

I left a voice message for childhood friend, someone I've know for many, many years two days ago regarding my grandchild having a seizure due to her temperature rising so quickly. I also told her as I was crying in the message my granddaughter has pneumonia. I'm shocked she never called me back, or even at least sent me a text regarding it. She instead sent me a video of her granddaughter riding on a ride & some other pictures. Not one word about my granddaughter & how she even is doing.

I would never treat someone like this even if they weren't a friend. I don't even think this woman realizes what's she's done. It's actually scary how some people can be. She herself has had several tragedies in her family, & I responded right away & also kept inquiring how they were. I guess it's a one way street with her. I should really just stop talking to her, but I've known her all my life. Do you think I should say anything to her about this, I personally feel it wouldn't do any good, so I'm just not responding to her pictures which are meaningless right now to me? What would you do, and what do you think about someone who would do this?? I know this for sure now though, I will never tell her anything that is going on in my life especially if it's something bad. She seems the type to freak out over tragedies, she won't even watch the news and never knows what's going on no matter how bad it is. I stopped being her newscaster long ago because I think it's insane to not at least keep up on world events to some degree.

Answer
I think it's weird that her only response was to send you a video of her granddaughter. I don't think we're getting the whole story here. Being angry at/offended by someone for not reacting to something the way you wanted them to react is selfish. It's also setting you up for a lifetime of grievances.

Ps. The standard and popular media nowadays is propaganda and filled with lies and half truths.

Why are people more obsessed with Facebook than they were Myspace?

Female

I have noticed that back when Myspace was popular people used it for a while, logged off, and lived life. Facebook seems to be another story. It's like they can't put it away. Even newscasters, celebrities, and some people in congress have to talk about it or tell the viewers to follow/like them. I know companies use it to sell a product, but seriously. I created a Facebook just to see what it was all about, now I only use it for games. I ignore all of the nonstop posts from friends, because half of them are just stupid. Back when I deactivated my account for a while then came back, my friends were in a panic. They thought something bad happened to me, or I got banned from the site. I thought "Seriously? Wow." I think there might be a problem going on but I'm not entirely sure. I like human contact in real life, I will text someone about an event but that's it. I call for a real conversation. Facebook to me is just another website, it's not my whole life. But apparently leaving it is scary to my friends...strange I know. So, why is Facebook like an addiction to some people?

I think it is a social anxiety issue and people are more comfortable communicating through a proxy.. They compose 2 page replies or text messages but in person they cant hold a 5 minute conversation. Its the same with voting, they dont want to deal with the pressure or responsibility of their own actions
