Hey Jasmine
Haha , Thank you thats really sweet:)AlpalParticipantHello Matt
So true matt! Your words really made me think , you are right I should not connect what she is doing to myself it could be something about her or about something that I may not understand.And also you are right the mystery is what bothers me the most the fact that I dont understand it ! I will try to direct my attention on forgiving myself no matter what happened and forgiving her and hoping the best for the both of us even if it doesn’t work out between us .
Thank youAlpalParticipantThe Ruminant
Yes you are right maybe I should have presented my question as “When a friend changes on you and you dont understand why , should you let go or try to get the friendship back even though you have tried countless times” When it comes to the gossiping I really don’t feel as if I am gossiping about her at all I feel more like I am letting my heart out in a place where I will not be judged for it to be honest:) I guess like you I have not really dedicated myself to anyone I know at all really other than my husband and my family , but not really friends and when I think about it its not really that bad not to have that many close friends. As long as you love yourself really and take care of those around you. And I don’t know if I am misunderstanding you or if you are misunderstanding me about “needing her to give something to me” because thats not what I wanted at all , just wanted to feel as though I had a friend who truly cared for me and my happiness and could share that with me, not what benefit I could get from her, and your right it should be about the joy friends give to each other that should count !
Thanks
ALpalAlpalParticipantHey Inky !
Really admire your relationship with your husband hope me and mine get to be with each other that long!AlpalParticipantHello Ruminant
Yeah thats more than likely what we should do , just let eachother go since it seems like we weren’t really meant to be friends , I have no intention on speaking ill of her though to others when she is not around , as I do not hate the girl at all I still care for her but it is obvious that something went wrong along the way .
Thanks againAlpalParticipantHey there Jasmine
Yeah I am extremely happy about marrying the love of my life ofcourse but you know when you are really happy but sometimes when you are all alone your mind wanders? Yeah well thats what happens with me and my friend , when I am just hanging out alone and looking through my phone it kind of bugs me , not really thinking of her motives , more of “what happened” and why are we not friends anymore and then I sit and wonder if it was jealousy or did I actually do something to hurt her? Or is it just because we are both growing older and changing ourselves? That was the whole point of this post , not to talk bad about her or to decide she was jealous , it was to ask for opinions on whether this could be jealousy or could it be something I might have done to her and if I should try to fix it or let her go. Sadly I know that deep down there is something bigger than me worrying about her that is bugging me , it might be the fact that I feel like I don’t have many close friends, or the fact that I may not be so sure of the decisions I make? I’ll have to sit and really think about exactly what it is that is bothering about this subject , the funny thing is , is that she just acts like we aren’t really friends not even that she is mad at me or anything , just kind of like … Ok whatever kind of thing . Oh and then again , when it comes to you saying that I seem happy yet also not so happy , that is basically the problem I am having , is that I feel like I am letting her steal my joy (or letting this thought steal it) while these is supposed to be the happiest days of my lifeAlpalParticipantHello Inky:)
Sorry you had to go through this too! How did you deal with it and are u still friends with them? Yeah maybe its just the fact that I am moving on in life with someone I love and her previous love life didn’t really work out, its strange its like the older she gets the more different she becomes , or maybe its that she is turning more into herself and we are just not really meant to be friends? Yeah you are totally right when it comes to the fact that I should just think of my husband and us having fun, but you know it feels really strange and awkward for me now when I see her number in my phone! But it angers me to think that I am letting her take these amazing days of my life away from me !
I guess I should think more of the people that are standing by me and caring and less of those who don’t no matter who they are , or were!.
Thanks Inky:)
AlpalAlpalParticipantHello Ruminant 🙂
To make myself more clear I was wondering what her motive is or exactly why she changed SO much ever since I got married I really don’t want to think that it was the jealousy that changed her, and I have asked her before whats wrong and she just acts cold about it , she really just CHANGED for some reason. When it comes to helping with the wedding , no I really don’t feel the need for her to help at all but the thing is , is that people that I have known for a very short time have offered to help and have cared about me and my happiness while she asks nothing about me , my wedding, my happiness , my honeymoon , nothing that a normal friend would ask when her “best friend” got married. To be honest I think deep down I don’t really want her friendship anymore because I have changed SO much since high school and it seems like if there is no high school , there is nothing for us to do together or to even talk about we dont have much of a relationship outside of highs school which I guess is some sort of sign . Also when I stand up for myself she seems to get really angry and defensive she used to like the NO confidence me more than this new me who is being true to herself ! To be honest sitting here and writing about it shows me more that I don’t think we are meant to really be friends anymore ..hmmAlpalParticipantHello there !
Oh dear haven’t we all had these times? I used to have them ALL THE time! It is extremely normal to feel this way when you are worried about what others think of you which is probably the reason why you are so hesitant to do anything. Try to remember that you can’t control what others think of you and that the worst people in the world like Hitler, had followers and admirers while the best people like Mother Teresa (pardon my spelling if I misspelled her name) had haters! So whether or not you are doing what your heart wants some will like you and some wont. But that is not important what is more important is you loving yourself , so the next time something comes into your heart or into your mind just do it! If it is something you are going to say or do just do it as long as you are respecting yourself and those around you, nothing bad is going to happen. Yeah you might have someone say something back to you or think of you differently , but wouldn’t you rather be hated for something you were than something you weren’t? And loved for something you were than something you weren’t? Just do whatever is in your heart from now on , or at least try to do one thing a day where you don’t hesitate about it and keep it in a journal just to see your progress on it take it day by day and sooner or later you will see a major change in yourself and you will start to feel more confident. Remember what comes into your mind is there for a reason so let the world hear your important opinion and show your beautiful uniqueness! “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society”. Jiddu Krishnamurti. Why want to sound like all of them or want them to like you? Just be your beautiful self and shine on you were made to have different opinions than other people, we all were otherwise the world would not grow at all would it?
AlpalAlpalParticipantSo glad I could help Zoey and yes the most important thing a person can do is fall in love with themselves! When it comes to confidence I myself have been on the journey to becoming the person I would love to be (which is the funnest thing to do) and it has taken me years and years of practice I am not 100% there yet, but I can see a huge change in myself and in the people around me and the way they treat me. You need to start slow with yourself start with deciding what your most important values are in life and what you find to be most important such as respect or loyalty or fun or inner peace , whatever it may be you need to decide that in order to start sticking to it. In order to have confidence and love yourself you must mirror what you admire and you must stick to what you believe and that is why I think starting with your most important values should be first. After doing that you could sit and think what you don’t like about yourself or what you think your weakness is and start focusing on that for a while it might touch some sensitive places in your heart , but in order to grow you must really get “naked” with yourself:p. Then you could start from there and decide whether its a part of you you would like to accept or a part you would prefer to change. I myself have an entire folder on my laptop of my journey, if you would like I could send you more information about what I did , but I was a bit obsessed and still am with personal growth haha:) but it really has paid off:)
When it comes to him I am not sure exactly what is in your heart and prefer not to judge , but I do think that it is probably more of a crush than true love , for me I believe TRUE love comes only once in a lifetime and it is mutual, if someone doesn’t like you back than that wasn’t your true love and it was probably just some attraction you had for each other. Once you fall in love with yourself you will not want him anymore trust me ! You wont want to have anything to do with someone who doesn’t want to be with you , be that a friend or a lover 😉
Good luck on your journey 🙂
AlpalAlpalParticipantHello there Luna:)
From what I have understood from your summary is that your friend may be a little bit confused himself, he wants you all the time and leans on you in the time of trouble yet doesn’t think you would work out in a relationship? So my guess is he really is just confused and doesn’t know how to feel about the situation , but to be honest you should think of yourself a little bit more than you think of him and I suggest you move a little bit away from him and not be as close as you used to be , at least until you recover from your own pain of the rejection. By taking care of him and how he feels and stepping on your own heart you are just going to hurt yourself and it is not going to be easy for you to get over this at all. I would talk to him about it though and explain to him that you just need a little bit of time alone to sort things out in your mind. You can listen to him when he needs you but try not to over do it for your own sake, you need to be able to think of your feelings in this as well and watch out that you don’t set yourself up for another heartbreak .
Hope I helped!
AlpalAlpalParticipantHello there Zoey:)
First of all I would like to say that you are going through something that is VERY natural to go through when relationships dont work out so stop being so hard on yourself and saying that you are acting like a kid or obsessing over a guy. It is only natural to worry that there is something wrong with you and that is why he doesnt want you , and trust me when you gave up on him he probably felt the same way and wonders why you dont want him anymore. Sometimes relationships just don’t work out and some people just aren’t meant to be with eachother , imagine if some amazing man who was made for you is waiting out there somewhere in the world for you while you are just “settling” for someone else, you would loose your chance on something beautiful thats why some relationships work out and others don’t , its the ones that were meant to last that do! There is NOTHING at all “wrong” with you , and you probably did nothing to upset him or turn him off , but maybe he could be going through something and not want a relationship anymore, maybe he has issues with himself and doesn’t want to start anything until he fixes himself, or maybe he decided it wouldn’t work out if he was far away from you,there are endless possibilities which are more likely true other than something being wrong with you. As for thinking about him , slowly but surely you will start to forget him and Eventually he will be nothing but some funny memory you have of some guy you used to know, just try to keep your mind busy with people that DO make the time in their day to spend time with you and try to keep your confidence high and fall in love with yourself. Remember that before you can love or start a healthy relationship with anyone you must first love yourself and when somebody asks you out you should feel as though it was only natural for someone to want to hang out with someone as amazing and fun as you are;) And if something doesn’t work out always remember that there are beautiful things and people waiting in the world for you to meet.
Hope I could help in someway 🙂
AlapalAlpalParticipantHello Big blue:)
I would say about 7 years maybe? But then again to be honest everyone matures in their own way and in their own time so I really think it just depends on how much they can get along and communicate no matter how many years apart they are. And also it depends on how much they love each other because one of them eventually will age faster than the other and might need a little bit more care, the only thing that would keep a person around to take care of someone who might be getting a little slower especially if they can’t feel their pain is love!
Love,respect, loyalty and understanding is all that is really important in a relationship 😉AlpalParticipantHello Bronwyn:)
First of all I would like to mention that the world DOES need you otherwise you would not even be in it. I am 100% sure that you have skills and interests you just haven’t found them yet. Have you tried to try new skills and hobbies? Here is a list of some http://www.notsoboringlife.com/list-of-hobbies/ . There is no such thing as someone who has nothing to offer, even the slightest blow of wind has a purpose in life but sometimes it takes time to find it , this hard time you are going through is going to make you understand yourself more and look for your true life’s purpose which is why we all need to go through this time in our life where we want to figure out who we are and why we are in this world. When it comes to the way you say that people are getting bored of you and that you are not interesting , this is something that you are saying to yourself , people could be thinking of something else or that might just be their facial expression DONT assume something on your own about what someone else is thinking because you can never ever be sure of it . We are our toughest critics and I’m sure no one thinks of you as low as you think of yourself! When it comes to the confidence it is a journey it is something you must develop , read books on self confidence (I can recommend many) read websites and start that new life journey that is SO fun btw !, decide today that you are going to start a new and improved you, the person you would be proud to be ! Here on tiny buddha you have everything you need to start on becoming the amazing person you were born to be! Don’t ever give up on life because you would not be here if you were not strong enough and beautiful enough to live!
Hope I helped! Let me know if you need to know anything when it comes to starting a new life and becoming the person you always wanted to be:)
Good luck on your new life:)!
AlpalAlpalParticipanthahaha So true big blue ! Good job love the twist 😉
