I had to let this friendship go.
But, if friends won't support you, then maybe they were never a true friend. Maybe you don't really need friends like that.
Do you feel comfortable calling your friend and asking why you weren't invited? This way you'll know and can then move on. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. It would be good to give her a chance to explain her decision before you react.
AND, I hear you when you say that it's hard for you to cause waves. All of my years growing up, I was never allowed to create 'ripples' and it's still hard for me to confront people when I'm upset. I was thinking about creating a thread about it tonight..dunno...
Keep the faith Beth...talk to her first. It might hurt to know the truth but at least you'll have closure and will be able to move on.
Good luck |
Thanks Kathy, You're right, I Don't need friends like that.. if there were really that good of a friend to begin with but like my friend told me last night... some people come into your life, make their mark and then you fade. She did have an impact on my life in many ways, and I do still care for her but the closeness we had just wasn't meant to be forever. I have a couple of friends that I know are lifers and that's all I need, other friends will come and go..
