I can't anymore

I have to literally rudely interrupt my friend to get a word in edgewise. We talk about her her her her all the time. She can't even tell my daughters apart and they don't even look that similar.

Doesn’t sound like a friend to me. 🤔

@OlderSometimesWiser I always end up with friends like this, I swear

@Nebula Unfortunately if it’s something you’ve continued to tolerate, that’s not surprising. And again, those really aren’t friends, they’re energy vampires. True friendships meet the needs of both people. If you want that, you need to learn to assert yourself which starts with feeling confident that you deserve it.

@OlderSometimesWiser yeah, I have a hard time believing that people actually want to be my friend. It's something that I've always struggled with

@Nebula Well you seem like a very nice lady and I hope you can learn to have more confidence in yourself and know that you deserve good people in your life. 🙂

@OlderSometimesWiser I think she is a good person though

Nebula · 41-45, F

@OlderSometimesWiser and thank you for saying that

@Nebula Well if that’s true, she should be open to hearing about what you need from the friendship. It would be important to her. And it sounds like it would be good practice for you to initiate that conversation.

@OlderSometimesWiser yeah, you're right
