> i had friends, but have let things go, i just don't feel like i can manage friendships right now, but it feels bad to have let things go too. one friend really hurt my feelings by introducing me as her "good neighbor", she used to introduce me as her "good friend". She was my best friend. I must not be someone ppl want to hang out with because ppl have been okay with me letting friendships go, so i just feel bad about it right now.
>sometimes people think they are actually helping by staying away and not being pushy about staying friends. Sometimes it seems like that is what the person wants. really, Ive done this before. I ended up insulting someone but my intentions truely were to back off and give the person space while they were struggling. Your friend might have said that neighbor comment because she felt you pulled away from her?? If she says friend than she may think you are thinking, more like neighbor....make sense?
I have been through some of my own crap but for some reason when it is someone else who I dont expect to be going through stuff I dont always understand what they want/need even though Ive been there. if you want to mend relationships just call them up and say I miss what we had ive been feeling whatever.....filli n the blank. Sorry I came in at this part of the thread so I hope I havent gone off on a tnagent.
Im sorry FW
