anita,
I have a hard time believing that C is a bully. I never thought about it that way. Is that not severe? And in that case, if she is, it makes me feel like this-
How come I cannot just meet a normal friend or person? OR does that normal friend not exist (not possible because everyone has issues) and the issue at hand is my reaction to people. And if my reactions changed, I would be able to have better relationships with people? In other words, if i was not absorbing her energy etc, maybe I would have no issues with her friendship and not even notice all of those 14 things I wrote?
What do you think I should do about C? Yesterday was the first time we did not speak all day since about a month.
Also you say there is a gap between her self-image and actual self. Sometimes I wonder if I am like that. I do not think I am though.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
