Topic: Girl Friendships | |
---|---|
Looking back I really learned my lesson in 8th grade. My best friend since kindergarten slept with my boyfriend then called with him on the phone to tell me about it. It was disturbing and unexpected, but there goes friendship. And the following years girls were just as mean as they were nice, two faced and back stabbing.
I've posted on issues with girls and guys in bars and the fact that two girls ripped into me cause I happened to be catching the attention of men perhaps they had been interested.. that is not my FAULT but I was shunned for this. And here it goes again. This time the bartender was flirting with me, and the friend turned to me and said, ' I LIKED HIM. ' And there I was, just a girl having a fun time in what otherwise can be considered a dreary world. I was happy being myself and having a good time with the guy. Later that night, this friend took the opportunity to rip into me about the attention I get from guys and that somehow it is a character flaw of mine that I attract them. Guys have basically told me that I'm smart, funny, and attractive.. what is there not to like. But anyway, this friend happens to be overweight and seems more and more bitter toward me making cutting remarks and basically telling me to shut up.. how can I say the things I do. I basically backed off the friendship because I felt that she was being hateful. I canceled plans with her cause basically I have to be afraid when a guy shows me interest over her, which is going to happen as she says herself that she needs to lose weight in order for men to take interest. Now she is calling asking ' Did I upset you.' I wanted to say yeah, you acted like an a-hole and don't punish me for the fact that you don't take care of yourself or that guys aren't interested in you. I've loved her always, never been judgmental but here there takes a turn when a person tries to rob me of joy. I'm sickened and depressed over this happening AGAIN. She and I have been friends since high school but it seems jealousy has gotten the better of her. |

Maybe her boyfriend can do one of us and then we can do a foursome.

Maybe her boyfriend can do one of us and then we can do a foursome. Wanna? Wanna?? Lilith - It would never work, she will take the whole spot light and we'll just be ignored. OP - if this scenario in reality is true, it sucks but one must go on This friend of yours doesn't seem to be much of a real friend. |

No one is saying what your posting isn't true.
My point is that you attract drama. Stop asking for it to happen. Look within. If you like the drama, well then just stop complaining about it. Don't you see that you are bringing this on? |

Don't you see that you are bringing this on? I'd have to go live under a rock or take newarkj's advice and get new friends. maybe drama via the circle around me I will begin to assume responsibility up to a point and I'll see where it goes from here thanks for the suggestion lilith |

Guys deal with this too. I got friends who will hang out with me but don't want to go catting with me. They get pissy and jealous (which I just don't get). Looks have very little to do with attracting a potential meat toy. It is all about attitude.
