I Am No Longer Friends With My Best Friend
So I haven’t been talking to my best friend for a while, she’s been studying this course, but the problem is, she has lost passion for it and she started asking me and a friend to help her, now it was alright to give suggestions, but she went over that and I need to be brave enough to say no and be firm, she would get us to do a little work on her units like quizzes and questions.
I stopped calling her and also ignored her calls as the first few times I answered we would have a normal conversation and then she would start to talk about her assignment and what my “next” task would be.
Today though, after quite some time, she called me and I was quite happy to answer it as it has been just over a month that I haven’t spoken to her, we chatted for a little bit until straight away she asks me if I could write a 200 word description for her about what procedures I would have to go through as a photographer (I’ve been working as a photographer for nearly 5 years). I was shocked and rather disappointed, the thing is, both her parents are photographers (and before you guys have a go at me for saying about not writing the 200 word description for her, it’s still her job to get that together herself), so they could help her out, but she said to me that she didn’t want to confront them because she would get in trouble for getting her assignment sorted a little too late. So in the end, I pretended that I was busy today and also the next day.
It hurt me even more about this conversation, when she said that she might be free over the weekend, which is great to hear, but the fact that she stated that afterwards, indicated that this call was not a personal “let’s catch up and have a girls night out” talk and she only called me because she wanted me to do some of her work.
I’ve broken away from her, and I always thought I couldn’t do it, but I realized that it’s for the best.
