This is going to be a bit cryptic, but I thought I could
just ignore the people who said mean things about me. I knew we had mutual friends, but I thought I
could dodge those very rare events we both happened to be invited to. I thought I would just ignore the fact that
mutual friends were still speaking to and making plans with the
ex-friends. And it turns out I can’t.
Most of all, I’m just confused. Obviously, I can’t tell people who they
should or shouldn’t be friends with.
It’s not my decision to make and that would be beyond immature. And I’ve been in that position – where people
have told me not to spend time with a specific person, not to be friends with
so-and-so. And you know what? It only made me want to be friends with the
person I wasn’t supposed to be friends with.
But I digress. It hurts my
feelings that mutual friends are still friends with the “meanies”. And I’m not sure how to handle it. It really hurts my feelings that all those
mean comments were ignored and everyone just went on with life. Like it was totally fine for all those mean
things to be said. And it wasn’t.
Maybe I’m being too sensitive? Maybe I’m being self-centered (again)?
But I’ve been on the other side. I’ve witnessed one friend treating another
badly. And you know what? I stopped talking to the person who treated
the one friend badly. Because I knew it
was wrong and undeserved. I don’t expect
people to stop talking to the “meanies”, but I guess I expected SOMETHING. Acknowledgement? Reaction?
Do I just separate myself from the entire group? Or maybe I avoid these friends on FB since
that’s where I see comments and plans being made? (Seriously, I think FB often does more harm
than good). Or do I just get over it and
move on already? Uggh.
