When friendship works

Sporadic Sparkly

Since I joined NAS approximately 18 months ago, I have been fortunate enough to become acquainted with a handful of members, whom I now consider to be really good friends. Whilst we might not share the same opinions and have sometimes misunderstood each other, we have never fallen out.

These friends have witnessed me at my best, and have also been there to support me when I have been at rock bottom. I feel truly blessed to have these friends. Hugging

I have since edited my original post.

Regrettably, rather than focusing on the friends who genuinely want me in their lives, I had allowed myself to become fixated on one particular 'friendship' that had always been... er... complicated. Those who know me will not be surprised to know that I had been wallowing in self-pity and feeling like a victim, in addition to feeling like a fool.

  • This would possibly be far better posted to the person that you are aiming it at, privately. From a personal perspective, if I was ‘friends’ with someone on here and they had done this I’d be mortified and possibly would never post again. But I’m crap at making friends on or offline so not an issue for me Laughing 

    I do understand that sometimes we need to talk about things that are on our mind but I’m not sure this is the right way to go about it :)

    Thank you, Briar. I appreciate and understand what you're saying.

    I'll refrain from providing any gory details but suffice it to say that having been pushed to breaking point one too many times, I felt I needed to express my feelings in the original post.
