How do I deal with friends being non supportive when I have just suffered a very traumatic experience?

I recently just had a brain hemorrhage and am very hurt by my ';best friend';. He lives in the city near by my house and has not called or come by to see me in weeks. He was at the ER and after that nothing. He LOVES to text message but has not actually called on the phone. I know not everyone is warm and emotionally available but we have known each other for many years. He is also a bit of a narcissistic person. Love to talk about his problems but does not like to ask about mine. Actually almost seems uncomfortable when i talk about my life. Do I just cut this person out of my life? I have already brought it up to him that my feelings were really hurt, he apologized but still no phone call. What do I do?How do I deal with friends being non supportive when I have just suffered a very traumatic experience?
You don't have to cut him out completely, but you may want to consider privately moving him from the ';close friends'; category into the ';casual acquaintances'; one. Presumably, you've still got some recovery work to do, so it shouldn't be too difficult to focus on that instead of whether he's going to wake up and realize you need his support. (He may do that on his own if you keep your distance, at which time you can talk through the problem in more detail if you want to repair the friendship, but don't begin the process hoping for that outcome.)How do I deal with friends being non supportive when I have just suffered a very traumatic experience?
Yea. A selfish friend is not a friend at all. Especially when you've told them your problems and still you haven't heard from them. Definitely cut off.
I think he is scared about the ';brain hemorrhage'; and doesn't know how to react to you.....Are you ok now? I think it might just be very unconfortable.....some people instead of dealing with something-they choose to ingnore it.
