My close friend I talk to over skype is very pushy, she always says hurtful things freely and disses things that I openly state I like. She always feels the need to express her opinion on everything I enjoy. She forces me to make decisions, thinking she's being generous by letting me pick when I've told her that pushing me causes me anxiety. god I can't even explain how much she hurts my feelings, and if I try to get time away from her she starts pitying herself and everything. we've been friends for six years now.
she's an overly outgoing person in real life, so she doesn't understand at all what its like to be shy and unable to make friends. ;x
and she just gets jealous whenever I talk to people who aren't her, even though she has like twenty friends always surrounding her and a blooming social life in real life and online.
I've tried talking to her about the things she does that hurt me multiple times, but she never tries to treat me better.
I don't understand, she tells me herself that I should tell her whenever I'm sad. She makes me promise every day that I'm not sad when she asks me.
I think I need a break from this girl. Sorry if I didn't make much sense, i'm just really upset with our friendship. We had a fight last month because she was being insensitive about people with social anxiety/shyness. ;x
And her fall break is starting tomorrow, I don't know what I'm going to do when she's on me the whole week. It's hard to just ignore her suddenly, because I email her frequently from my iPhone.
My sister tells me I should just stop being her friend and that its not worth it, but I feel too bad to just drop her. She's nice to me a lot too, and makes me laugh sometimes. It's just the mean side of her I don't have fun with. And we've been friends for so long, it'd feel weird to suddenly stop being her friend. I'd miss her a lot. ;x
