I was at work the other day and someone had mentioned the term "Toxic Friend". That got me thinking about this friend I have. I've known her since grade school, and to this day we are still friends. But sometimes I question our friendship and think it's one sided. There are times when I text her and ask her to hang out and she always has other plans. But, god forbid I be busy when she texts me. She just turned 21 recently and had a party with a bunch of people. She said it was casual which is my kind of style so I assumed I could wear jeans and a V-neck, which is what I almost always wear. I was told I couldn't wear that because I looked "too poor." Nothing I do is ever good enough and I always feel like shit when she is around. I have never had very much money growing up and everything I have I bought myself. I found an '83 Chevy with less than 100,000 on it for $300 and I bought it myself. My "friend" was given her car as a gift. Her father pays her insurance on it and the only thing she has to pay is the gas. Anyway, she's told me my car is shit and refuses to ride in it because she doesn't want anybody she knows to see her in it. I have a basic smartphone that I pay for myself. It's not good enough for her. She always makes comments about how bad it sucks. I don't have expensive clothes. I wear stuff from Wal-Mart because I buy my own clothes and it's cheap. I am quite content with my life, but she's not. I know it shouldn't bother me so much, but she's been my best "friend" for 10+ years and I don't really have other friends. I'm kinda a hermit and a little bit of a loner when it comes to doing things. It's hard for me to make friends, and honestly I wouldn't know where to start.
