I hate...

posted March 29th, 2015 at 8:38 AM

I hate the way a perfectly good friendship (or so I thought) ended over a god damned text message. I've never asked much in this life except for people to be direct with me face-to-face whether you love me or despise me, be frank about it but not behind a veil/screen. This was during the summer of last year, and though I've somehow forgiven the person and moved on, the hurt none the less lingers. There's a lesson to be learned here folks: don't tolerate passive aggression, and for the love of Lord Spaghetti Monster, there is still a place in this "connected" world for traditional human interaction sans technology!

I ruined a excellent friendship I had with a friend, because I texted her one night & said she valued her other friends more than me......but the truth is I really had very, very strong feelings for & was in love with her, I still feel sick what I did to her........Jesus I miss her :(

Given that

you actually gave them the opportunity to meet up and let them tell you face to face.

I have said things over text that would have been better face to face but I remember being turned down at the opportunity. So I let them know over text. And from there it went..

I never turned down any opportunity to talk. This one.. the person in question just went silent on me for a month after being a strong friend and when I dared to ask her what was wrong, they just let me go and brushed me off as though I meant nothing to them. It sucks.
