Losing A Friend

Losing A Friend

I'm writing this with the hope of sharing my experience and hopefully help me heal because right now I'm very angry and hurt.

I had a friend who I know for a number of years but we became close a few years ago. We're very different from each other but somehow we made it work. She moved out of Spain and went to live abroad. I was happy for her because that's what she wanted but since she moved there a couple of years ago, her self-absorption became more and more apparent. All she did was talk about herself, how great her life is and how I could possibly think of living here in Spain after I lived in the USA for some years. She would ask how I am doing with the hope I would ask her how is she doing and she would just go on and on about going to fancy resorts, buying a fancy keyboard and saying it cost her " the high price of $70 even though I could have perfectly buy one for $20". Like this, with everything else.

Anyhow I didn't feed her ego trips anymore and she got very upset and assumed I was jealous but her life is not what she wants to portrait she never tells the whole story. She assumed jealousy when in fact I was turned off by her constant need of being the center of attention.

Well I wrote her back a very harsh email with a reality check. I'm not interested in keeping this friendship but at least I wanted to move on by saying exactly how I feel towards her.

Well that's my story.
