So here is my rant of the day....
My best friend's name is Erika. She has a 1 year old daughter, Sydney, who I am godmum to, and I love her dearly. I love them both dearly, but you see I have an issue.
THIS IS ME --- >
I try so hard not to let people walk all over me.... but it happens. It is what I am used to. My mom is very similar so I think I must have learned this
habit from her.
The only person this doesn't apply to, however, is my boyfriend. I don't let him walk all over me, because I am not nervous or scared to tell him right where to go. My friends on the other hand, make me a little nervous. Why, might you ask? It is simple.
I am not a person who fights with their friends I am almost positive I am not the only one like this. I don't like drama, I don't like childish issues.. am I alone here?
#1) I don't feel like I can be mad even if I want to. If anyone have read my friends vs boyfriend post, they know that my friends and my boy do not get along what-so-ever. So I am stuck having boy time one day after work, and girl time the next. HOWEVER this doesn't always work out. EX- This weekend passing was Thanksgiving here in Canada, and I got looooooaded Saturday night (with my bf). So when I woke up Sunday, I honestly swore off drinking. I threw up like, 15 times, no joke, I felt like a complete piece of crap. So my plans for that Sunday were simple, eat turkey dinner, watch a movie, kick back & relax with NO DRINKS! So later on that night, almost 9 pm, I get a text from my BFF saying to come up to her boyfriends house, all of my friends are there drinking and they are mostly all loaded. I didn't talk to her all day til then so she had no way to know I was not drinking no matter what, and I said well I'm just laying down and I don't want to drink and I am with Gary anyways... (what was I gonna do, send him on the next bus so I could go see my friends and people who hate him?) and she was pissed. She said whatever it doesn't matter anyways and "See ya next week".
#2) I texted her the next day, no answer. That was the Monday, and I had to eat another turkey dinner anyways so I knew I couldn't really chill so I didn't push it. Then I texted her Tuesday, saying "Love you Babe have a good day!", still no answer. I texted her today, asking her to hang out, I emailed her, and no answer again.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO #3) I feel like I should be mad, the fact that I can't do what I want to do, day to day, and I let other people decide for me. It isn't that I don't want to chill or whatnot, I am just busy! I work Mon-Fri & I'm up at 6 am and home by 6 pm... doesn't leave much time for a life ! I go to sleep with my boyfriend everynight, and my bedtime is 11 pm, so I usually try to fit in time for her somewhere in there. But if I don't, then I get the silent treatment followed by guilt trips on how shitty of a friend I am. Would I
EVER say this to her?
I AM SO SICK OF THIS !! I WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO ANYONE, TALK TO ANYONE THE WAY I AM TALKED TO, OR TREAT THEM SO UNFAIRLY!!! I just don't think it is fair. Not to mention, I have another group of friends too that I barely see since I am usually so busy. & what sucks is that there isn't anything I can do really... I work 90 hours, I like to eat supper once in awhile and relax... how can I have 2 groups of friends, boyfriend, work, etc? It isn't really possible and I don't feel like I deserve the punishment I receive when I go three days without seeing her.
I realize I am her child's Godmother, so I need to be around. But shouldn't she realize that she shouldn't push me away by being a bitch and walk all over me, saying whatever she wants but I
do not feel like I can speak my mind. It is like walking on friggin egg shells.
I am tired of being a door mat .
