They hurt my feelings, and it wasn’t the first time. If I can’t have an honest conversation with them about it, what good is that? I don’t want to sound like a victim, I want to be able to talk candidly and honestly, and I am unable to get that from anyone I know. This person acts like a great friend sometimes, but I also get that general impression from time to time, and it really bothers me. They’re so closed off. I really should move on.
Why do you say I sound “like a victim”? All I want is a good friend. Someone who’ll let me just be a part of their life. Someone to just do things with whenever. Someone to confide in. Or just someone who’ll ask me how my day has been, and answer me the same question. Are these not the qualities you’d expect of a friend?
This day has been exhausting.
To be fair, I do have one such person and that is very important. However, I have a low tolerance for socializing in general and don’t open much beyond my one person. I don’t know if your friend is of a similar nature or what. How do they seem to shut you out?
You are right about your expectations of a friend.
