@ colibri
i'm sorry that happened to you that horribly manipulative and terrible. :c
but i'm definitely recognizing /a lot/ of those feelings too, and so can say i know how you feel.
yeah sometimes it's like i'm so caught up in all the good memories and i'm so good at pushing back all the bad ones, when i really shouldn't. hopefully we both make better friends that make us feel the way friends are supposed to! c:
@ aubree james.
i don't know :o
and i would but i'm probably not going to be back in waterloo until around the end of the month D: but omg we definitely need a williams cake date
I've had a situation where one of my closest friends repeatedly let me down. Even when others thought she completely flaky, I forgave her each time because at that point in life, she knew more about me than most people. She was someone I could confide in.
A few years into knowing her, she broke one of the biggest promises she made, and I hated her for it. We didn't talk for a while, but we shared some of the same friends and slowly, she drifted back into my life. I found it extremely difficult to cut ties with someone who knew so much about me.
She's matured now and we're ok. We're friends again, but I'm cautious, and to this day, she's still not someone I would drop everything in a heartbeat for the way I would with other friends.
I guess the moral of my story is to listen to your gut (mine told me early on she wasn't reliable) and consider why your friends all feel a certain way about her. Currently, I'm happy this girl is still my friend since she did quite a bit of growing up, but for a while it was a large mess. And when she does inconsiderate things, I can't help but see bits of her old self resurface. She had really brought me down emotionally, and I can't say it was worth it.
in short: we're cool now, but it was a struggle I wouldn't repeat. I hope that helps! PS congrats on the internship!
