Ever felt just like talking? I do all the time. I'm curious about people, how they act, what's on their minds, etc. So here we go. I will enable anonymous posting, in case your thoughts are personal or if you just want to say something that is on your mind. Whether it is about me, someone else, or whatever, it doesn't matter.

You know, I was hurt when she said it at first, but not because of the reasons you'd think. It hurt like hell to know that even though I try so hard to make sure everyone is alright and that they know they can talk to me about anything, that she still felt that she couldn't say something to me directly but instead had to pull her friend's list in on it. And then still hearing nothing about it but getting the occasional jab...

I mean, it's not like it was intentional. And even still, if it hadn't also pulled another person-- someone I care about a lot-- into the whirlpool, I wouldn't have said a damned thing, because what would have been the point? But now, I feel like we're being made into the bad guys. I can't even talk to the original person anymore-- it's like there's this giant fucking wall, and I'm afraid that she's mad at me, which shouldn't worry me. But I still think very highly of her as a person, and it's like losing a friend.

I guess I shouldn't be so attached to some people, especially because this is the internets (OMG SERIOUS BUSINESS), but I can't HELP it. I really miss being able to talk without having to shout over this wall.

But I'm not about to apologize for something I'm not in the wrong about, and I'm trying to give her a decent berth. I guess I'm part of the problem, because I'm definitely not part of the solution, but I can't let people keep doing the walk-all-over-me thing anymore. It's pushed me too far already.

I guess this was just venting for me. I don't know. I'm still uneasy and a little upset, but what's the point of being so openly? It's not like she listened even then.

I think people need to let things go, in the end. Sometimes it is hard to let go of a grudge. I suppose the forgive and forget ideal is out the window, but people should learn how to coexist. Perhaps you and this girl can try to talk to each other? You know, say your opinion and listen to her's. Usually, if both are you are calm and civil, the situation will improve.

I probably should, but she's been very pointedly unavailable lately. Maybe I should just email her. I'd like to just say 'okay, forgiven, all clear', but if I do that as things are she won't realize how it's affected me.

And of course, the third party is interested in fixing things, too, but she was angrier than I was.

I'll broach the subject with her soon.
