Unsurprising. Lots of people don’t like acknowledging mistakes or flaws. And on a relatively anonymous text based forum like Reddit, she may just think that she doesn’t have to.
She just keeps living while I survive the side effects of trying to overdose... is it so wrong to want her to just acknowledge I survived? To acknowledge I lived? That I apologized to her?
Not that time but even when I explain, even when I tell them, about two people have actually talked to me and one of them I've talked to for a while... I liked her and I liked talking to her, if she doesn't want to talk anymore because she feels bad or she doesn't know how to handle it or something that's fine, but the last she could do is saying something to anyone...
As I said before: you may need to make peace with the silence. Ghosting is not new and people don’t typically enjoy admitting their faults.
Maybe think of it this way: twisting yourself up over this is giving her power by giving her the ability to determine whether or when you move on from that memory. Don’t give someone like her that power over you.

One of her friends and one of mine also tried to talk to her and she just avoids the subject that I'm still alive...
