Hi all,
Thank you for helping me a few days ago with my decision to block and delete that friend. She reached out to me because she had been holding resentment against me for a year (two weeks after we fought) and I told her what I honestly felt; that it wasn't working for me, i felt it was onesided and that she has been taking me for granted.
Well yelp whoever said she sounds dramatic and is gonna stay dramatic, you were right. She wrote me a really nasty message telling me she only kept me around because she was determining if i was worth hanging out with, that I am fake/inauthentic and a clout chaser who was the beneficiary of her poor boundaries, that I only think about people to use them (lol which is hilarious because I am the one who has constantly bought her gifts, given her freebies and taken her on free trips) and accusing me of being "privileged" because I work in film and television. Accused me of thinking she is stupid and I think I am better than her. I was like geezus. BULLET DODGED. I have blocked her on everything because I wrote her a sweet, respectful but firm letter telling her why I am moving on and she went nuclear instead. She then called another friend and asked her if there could be any redemption for her as she said all those things in anger, like I will never understand people staying friends with people they hate. Anyway, taking my energy elsewhere and spent time with my other lovely friends (I was the only close friend she had) so I am doing well!
Lesson to learn: Do not befriend people you feel sorry for, who are constantly self-victimizing, who are always negative and have a pattern of breaking up friendships and professional relationships on a whim. Do NOT feel sorry for women who refuse to do anything about their mental health and weaponize their family trauma against you. DO NOT befriend people who are insecure and suffer from low self-esteem. They will always be secret haters and will continue to leech off of you.
