I’m Always Thinking That Sam Is Constantly Being Left Alone, Either By Choice (steve) Or As A Consequence

i’m always thinking that sam is constantly being left alone, either by choice (steve) or as a consequence of death (riley, nat, his mother and father), like until tfatws where he lived with sarah, every time he is on screen or mentioned he is alone, since the moment we meet him. in dc when he meets steve, in age of ultron he mentions looking for bucky alone, in infinity war he is snapped alone and when he comes back what he receives from steve is a job (it is honoring but it’s a job) and leaves him do deal with it alone because at the time bucky also left and ignored sam when he tried to reach for him.

like most of sam’s interactions with other ppl until tfatws was ppl needing him and he helping them. like for someone as outgoing as sam, he had few real friends and even fewer deep connections— and even the friends he has were formed by sam trying to help them (isaiah) or taking care of them (joaquin) and ppl talk a lot about how bucky found himself someone that can fly after his trauma of falling but sam found someone that will stay with him, no matter what. like bucky’s ass is not leaving, he goes out of his way to make sure sam is okay, promises to always be there, says sam can call him anytime, but i bet my left tiddie he doesn’t even need to cause the moment sam is not okay bucky is there (that’s not even me saying, that canon!) but more importantly in bucky sam found a relationship where he is not always giving something of himself like he always is but actually receiving the love and support he is constantly giving other ppl
