People are so hard to understand...

Dec 27, 2004 16:29

I thought for maybe like a second, things might have changed and I might have been let in to that little world, but I guess not. I am a good person, I care about people and frankly I just shouldn't. I let them walk all over me and seriously I don't understand why. I don't deserve to be left out and I don't deserve to be made fun of just because I ( Read more... )

Lisa, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you, and if the person who you're talking about reads this, I don't really care, because they've needed to hear it for a while now.

They're selfish in the worst kind of way, because they let other people down to pursue what they want. If they cared about you or anybody else who has ever invested time in friendships with them, they would have stopped isolating themselves in relationships by now. But the fact of the matter is, that's how they are, and nobody's going to change them. When the people who have tried so damn hard to love them for so long finally give up and let them go, they're going to fall hard, and nobody's going to be there to catch them. You have spent far too long fawning over them and killing yourself to be their friend, and all that has been produced is misery. Friendships become toxic when you sacrifice your own happiness just to try to salvage something that will never be. It took me a long time to learn this lesson too, and I have to say, I'm a better person for it. Let go, for your own sake.

when friendship gets lonely... britters131 December 28 2004, 02:49:03 UTC
I know how that goes, Lisa.
I do. Seriously...more than you can imagine.
Letting go is one of the hardest things to do...because somehow you keep thinking things will get better, and it's that false hope that starts to hurt the most.
I'm learning...we all do eventually, I think. I wish I could make this sound as empowering as Lauren did, I wish I could be that strong, but, for now, things are just too confusing, too, for lack of better words, ugh.
Chin up. There are so many of us that love you so much.

Nope, I think I was pretty clear. :)
