This past year's been a blur for me

Due to many things. On New Year's Eve 2021, Betty White died just weeks short of her milestone 100th birthday. I tried to get a celebrity reply from one of her friends like LeAnn Rimes, Ryan Reynolds, Carol Burnett, Barack Obama, Valerie Bertinelli, Sandra Bullock, Wendie Malick, and more, keeping it simple and saying that "it was a hard year for me", yet the only person who replied was the voice actor for the titular character on Baby Shark's Big Show, who (A) Isn't nowhere near as well known as Betty White, let alone well known at all, (B), is nowhere near 100, and (C) Is a female voicing a male character! Then, TOTS (which features Megan Hilty as KC the Koala) ended in June, which means we'll probably never see or hear KC The Koala ever again. Then, in September, the unthinkable happened. Megan Hilty's sister died in a plane crash, and therefore she permanantly closed her Cameo account, which means I'll never get a shoutout from KC the Koala. Yes it is extremely sad, and love and prayers to the family, but it made me both sad and angry at the same time. Then, just a few days after, QE2 kicked the can. I'm American, but most Britons had never known a life without her and having to say "the king" while referring to England is still hard. Luckily, things have been going great since then, and I have had a lot of support. Having Autism, ADHD, and OCD is hard

I’m so sorry you’re going through a hard time. It can be really scary and lonely when things we love vanish or end. I’m sending hugs your way and wishing good things ahead for you in 2023.

I’m sorry you had a bad year. It has been tough for many people. Don’t take it personally that people did not respond to you, they may be going through their own things. Just take life a day at a time and try to be thankful for what you do have. Hang in there, friend.

Remember, don't ever put faith in people who you don't actually know –– they don't owe you anything (in the same way that you don't owe them anything!)

Lean on those who actually know and care for you: your family & personal friends, and doctors who can provide necessary medical treatment & guidance for the conditions you listed. Those people will have a much richer impact on you than the moments of fleeting serotonin that might come from a social media shoutout. :) Take care & always look on the bright side of life.

Completely agree here. Performers don't owe anyone anything especially when they have things going on in their personal life and they don't even know you. Being disappointed is very unfair and almost selfish. Find actual people that you actually know to bring joy. Performers can only be there to an extent-they can't be there for you at anytime that you're going through something.
