Why am I suddenly in Junior High?
You know, it’s been a rough go for me for the last year when it comes to friends. Happily, many of those glitches have been mended for me. However, I’m having another one of those experiences that reminds me waaaaaay too much of Junior High.
I have a friend who was totally there for me through all the hard times last year. Even though she doesn’t live near me, she was incredibly supportive through email, phone, text, etc. I had stayed at her home, enjoyed her company and her love, and it was great.
Then suddenly she becomes friends with another of my friends, and that other person is now her sole interest.
As for me: texts are ignored, emails ignored, phone calls ignored.
She says she’s busy, and that too many people are pulling on her for her time and attention. Bottom line: someone else is more important right now, and I’ve been pushed aside.
I don’t normally give much energy to something like this, but I’m already so wounded and vulnerable from last fall, that this just feels like a punch to the gut. Especially since she knows exactly what I went through.
So, I’ve spoken my truth, asked for what I want, and now I have to just let it go.
I’m really ready to be done with all the friendship tests.
