Hi Eliana,

I’m so sorry to hear you’ve also been bullied by your “best friends”, and it’s been going on even to this day. To have trusted somebody who claimed that they loved you with your secrets and emotions, only to have them thrown at you and used against you…I had never experienced such a grand level of betrayal in my entire life. The level of paralysis is beyond imaginable. I had  prepared a long summer reading list… During the summer I couldn’t concentrate enough to read anything. I wonder how long it’s going to take for me to get back to normal life. You say it’ll get better…thank you. That gives hope.

There is sth that I have trouble understanding. OK,  so this person is a narcissist, has got a problem with me, and is now trying to destroy my relationships with other classmates. The question is…why don’t these people seem to be able to put two and two together and realize what is happening? They’ve known both me and her for 3 years…as you said “I’m the nice girl, sensitive, who is giving, kind, wears her heart on her sleeve” Why have they all rejected me and have taken sides with the N?

Thank you for your advice. I’m OK with not showing any signs of anger…but fear and resentment…I still have to work on those two. Unfortunately, I’m the type who gives her emotions away through facial expressions. What do you think I can do to minimize such effects?

Right now I’m back at my home city surrounded by supportive family members and friends. However, I dread going back to square one as soon as I have to go back to the capital, the place where my college is stated.

Again, thank you so much for your soothing words Eliana.

Love,

Mary
