I Am Drained
A bud of mine was giving me the silent treatment yesterday and I called her out on it. She was furious, to say the least, when I said I wasn't going to run after her every time she walked away when I turned my back. A bunch of coworkers and I went to Dave and Busters as a goodbye party for another friend of mine who's moving out of state for school; I wanted the evening to be about that friend, since realistically I won't see her again. But angry friend refused to eat, play games, or even talk to me when I talked to her. When I turned away to play a game she would walk off without telling anyone.
She killed our streak on Snapchat this morning. And now she's making passive aggressive posts about me. "Forgot what it's like to have your heart broken by your best friend" and things like that. I'm a little annoyed. A little upset. A little disappointed. But altogether, okay.
This was a long time coming. This is the same friend who starts making out with her boyfriend when I'm trying to talk to her, accused me of abandoning her because I've been trying to make new friends, pressed an ice cube against my neck at work after ignoring me for three hours because she was mad at me, etc etc.
This girl can be so charming, cute, funny, and friendly but.. I'm twenty years old. I don't want to deal with someone my age who has these fits of anger like a two year old whenever they don't get their way.
And especially last night. I just don't know what she expected me to do? Leave the party to chase her to her car? I tried over and over again to feed this girl, talk to her, and play arcade games with her, but she wouldn't even speak to me.
I can't even count how many times I've sat with this kid at McDonald's in the middle of the night so she can rant about whatever problem she's having at the moment- and so many of those problems she caused herself. Maybe in hindsight, I should have told her why she wasn't handling these situations well, rather than let her go off about every insignificant thing that upsets her and essentially just lead her to believe she's never wrong in a fight.
Agh.. I would rather things not end between her and I on this note- it's such a negative one. But I think this time I'm not going to make the first move.
Whatever happens, my choices between potential future roommates got a little easier, at least 😂
