Maybe not? Your shadow doesn’t leave you in the dark- it is still there by your side- you simply lack the perception or attention to notice it ever vigilant by your side. That’s not a failing of your shadow that you feel abandoned even though it is still there.

A shadow is the blocking of light. Unless a closed system reaches absolute zero- there is always light within it as far as science knows. In fact- we human beings actually emit very tiny measurable amounts of light from our own bodies. When you say “darkness”- there are shadows in darkness- some dark is “darker” based on ambient lighting intrinsic to the realities of physics. If you were in “total darkness” it would be absolute zero and you and your friend- or shadow- would effectively be dead anyway so you wouldn’t know if they were there or not- nor would it matter.

Now a more nuanced question is wether or not shadows disappear in the light. With enough light sources of appropriate intensity, positioned correctly, you could theoretically make a person have no visible shadow from any angle. The nuance there is wether that means the shadow is gone. A shadow is just an area where an object interferes with the passing of light. So wether we want to count using multiple light sources as having no shadow- or as simply having no visible shadow...

Well- to our analogy in this scenario- the fact that by the laws of physics you would still be interfering with the light and this still have a shadow doesn’t change- but you are quite literally pushing the shadow away or “smothering it” in light so that while you are creating a shadow- you have cut it out of your life for the moment. And of these examples- none are the shadows fault. In fact- the person who could decide to keep the shadow around or not would be you- not the shadow.

Regardless of the science I hope you’re feeling better. I know it can be quite annoying or even distressing to have to deal with people who are “fair weather friends” or lack loyalty and convictions. Identifying these “friends” can sometimes be an effort itself- and once identified even IF we have healthier people to turn to, it can be hard to cut the unhealthy ones we are accustomed to- worse so if the unhealthy ones are our main or sole support. Good luck and you deserve better people around you.
