I need a little advice here

[Badgy]

I asked someone in my extended family to love me and explained that I have a very difficult time maintaining relationships and a dreadful fear of abandonment.

Their response was to ignore me. So I kind of jokingly said, I just bared my soul to you and then died a little in your silence.

A day later my texts were all blocked -and still are.

Is it just me, or is that like a total blow off?

This does not seem like a you problem, but a them problem. The way people react speaks volumes about them. My husbands dads family is very emotionally distant from each other. When we asked his aunt to read at our wedding she happily accepted. Then the day before she called to say she couldn’t and was crying. It had nothing to do with us, but how she was able to show love and support. She was not shown love or support and thus had extreme difficulty showing it. I know it hurts you, and I am so sorry you’re going through this, but it’s almost better that they stopped communicating before you found out they were “faking” it.

I agree... others' reactions are more to do with them than you. They may just not be able to give you what you need at this moment in time - perhaps they don't know how to communicate that to you. Even so, it is a horrible feeling to be shut down in that way.

We love you. If I was there I'd give you a big hug and we'd go out for a special bottle of water.

Badgly remember when people show you who they are believe them the first time.
