ok so say your one of best friends name was catherine (and your other best friends name was larisa), and recently she dumped her boyfriend to go out with this guy she met saturday named samuel. lets say you needed someone to talk to because you needed to cry or complain to someone and the only person that you could think of at the moment because you were emotional was catherine. say you called catherine on your cell phone because your both verizon and in, so it was free. but then lets say she was out with sam.
heres where we stop to think: who comes first... boyfriends or friends? my friends come first with me... but lets see what catherine does
you call, she answers and you tell her that you need someone to talk to, and she says shes out with sam. you might say, well can you tell sam to go away so i can talk, its important. she says, well im kinda in the car with him and hes driving.. so its a little hard. you might say, well why are you driving around with sam? and she might answer, because its what we do. then you might say whatever.. and hang up.
you would expect for your BEST FRIEND to call you RIGHT to talk to you and see what was wrong. you would EXPECT that your BEST FRIEND whos always been there for you would try and find out what was wrong. but... did catherine do that? lets think. NO.
catherine did not call you back. she did NOT find out what was wrong with you and you would think that she didn't care at all and that her crush came first. lets go back to the situation...
say you called catherine back and she didnt answer. you might still be a little burned around the edges... so you leave a message that goes a little like this
a best friend would call you back after her friend hung up on her. a best friend would answer the phone. a BEST friend would see what was wrong because she cared (and if you were still really really burned.. you might say) and i thought a best friend would care... obviously you dont.
and hung up. you would expect that after you called for your best friend to call you back right? and if she didnt?
how would you feel in this situation? like i felt? used and unwanted? confused and lost, wondering why she didnt call you back? thinking if she really is your best friend
thats how i felt…
