Today I am writing just because I need an outlet! I am so fed up with toxic friendships! Have any of you ever encountered this kind of friendship?
You start out with these people and think you can make great friends, and by the end it turns out all they did was taking advantage of you from left to right and they’ll shove you away like an old sock in a drawer! Sometimes I wonder how I always end up in those so-called “friendships”? I open my home and heart to friends, include them in anything from A-Z and yet, I always end up getting the boot and have no clue what I did or didn’t do right? I do special things and go the extra mile and never expect anything in return, but it bugs me that if I don’t call or keep up with the friendship those friends will never pick up the phone and see how I am feeling or doing.
For example, one of my so-called friends hasn’t talked or seen me since June 2009, and I had put such a wonderful baby shower together for her son and his fiancée. They told me how wonderful it was and that was it! I figured let’s see if they’ll call me to check in and—it’s almost a year later now—nothing!
It makes me sad ... any advice anyone?
