Anyways, I went for lunch with my friend the other day (when I was Quasimodo for the day), and we got t talking about her recent encounter with...shall we call her ...Ursula (like the evil octolady from little mermaid)? I think it suits her just fine. My friend was telling me in the half an hour that she spent with Lady U (for ucky!), all she did was WHINE and trash talk me and go on and make a thousand excuses for why we weren't friends anymore. Which is funny, because my friend never even mentioned me!
I dont know why but this really irritates me. I feel like even though I am the runt of the litter concerning the people I grew up with, I learnt to eventually GROW UP. I just feel like we are both adults now. It doesn't hurt me in any way that we aren't friends and I don't ever seem filled with regret either - and it is solely due to her behavior exemplified in this situation! It's one thing to kindly explain to someone that we just aren't close anymore with some TACT (clearly what Lady U wasn't taught as a child), rather than trash talk like a 12 year old.
I find that I am exercising a ton of control in the way I chose to behave and the common courtesy would be to do the same. Im just frustrated because I feel like it would drag me into a setting I don't want to participate in. If she is going around saying nasty things, and someone approaches me and confronts me about them...what do I do? I don't want to trash talk her back - but there seems to be no other way around it. Either way, I will be calling her a liar, and someone who is manipulative - when really, I just want people to have to figure that out for themselves. She is none of my business anymore! Why is it so goddamned hard to UNFRIEND people?
