Mark,

I am still friends with Amanda but I don’t think she is ever going to be close with me again while dating her boyfriend. I can just tell she doesn’t really care for me as much as she used to. I can reconnect with Anna but the situation is kinda complicated. All of my current “fake” friends hate Anna because she did something morally wrong. I was the only one who was willing to be friends with Anna after she did this bad thing but everyone started accusing me of being a bad person for still caring for her. I guess they saw it as me supporting someone who would do something like that (yeah… what she did was bad). This was a while ago and at the time I was unsure of what to do… so I dropped contact with Anna along with everyone else. On top of all my friends hating her, my controlling boyfriend didn’t want me to be friends with her either. So if I reconnect with Anna (which I am greatly considering because I miss her a ton) I will lose all my friends and my boyfriend. But I don’t think any of my friends or my boyfriend actually care about me so maybe that won’t be a bad thing. Maybe I should just reconnect with her and do what I want and if everyone ditches me for it will show their true colors.
