umm.. i hope you don't mind me sharing my thoughts about this this just got me thinkingWhy do some people have to make out that their problems are far worse than everyone else's? My so called best friend just text me to thank me for the gift I sent her (I've not had anything from her though) and then I told her that my Christmas Day didn't happen as my mum wasn't well and that I hoped hers was better than mine. Yet all she said was I hope my mum gets better soon and that her Christmas had been stressful just like the last few months of her life had been. It's always about her and to be honest I'm over it. For once I'd like to have some of the attention I used to give her, but nope it's clear it'll never be that way and I will always be the agony aunt when her life turns to crap or when she has no one else's shoulder to lean on. I'm starting to think 2023 for me will be a year where she is no longer included in my life as she makes me feel inferior to her life all the damn time.
Thanks, I get where you’re coming from but there’s a whole lot more I didn’t divulge. For the better part of the year anytime we’ve had a conversation she just stops replying. This includes anytime I ask about anything that’s going on in her life. It’s like she wants the support but without putting in the effort and realising that friendship is a two way street. You have to give in order to take through both the good and bad times. Not only that she has a habit of forgetting about her old friends the moment someone new comes into her life that gives her attention. This has also included her own family that she’ll happily make out to be the bad guys when things don’t go her way. Then when it all goes wrong she comes running back and attempts to make promises, yet she never follows through with them.umm.. i hope you don't mind me sharing my thoughts about this this just got me thinking
honestly, maybe she just doesn't know that type of thing bothers you? if you haven't already cut her off, maybe you should try talking to her about it? i kind of do the same thing (when people tell me about a problem of theirs, i usually apologize for what's happening to them and tell them i hope it gets better soon, and i try to empathize with them by telling them a similar problem i have, because I'm really, really bad at comforting people.) I'm not great at empathy either a lot of the time. i personally don't think she meant it with bad intentions, unless there's more to the story you haven't told? idk this is just what i think from what you've said and my personal experiences
