grimrose_eilwynnI don't like gossiping about people, but since this blog is so anonymous I feel like venting about someone in particular here.
I have a friend. She's a great person and we've been friends since we were six years old. She's kind, adventurous, artistic, and accepting. She's braved lots of illness and is very tough. She has tons of good qualities. She's a devout Christian and she has a two year degree, currently working as a bartender.
But she has some annoying qualities too.
I invited her to a movie today. She texted back and said that she had to ask her best friend if she wanted to come along first; only then would she come.
Two things about my friend:
- She can never just do something one on one. She always has to invite extra people.
- She always attaches herself to a more confident girl and does everything with said girl.
It's always been like that. It hasn't always been this one girl, but it's always been some girl.
When we were in elementary school, it was a different girl. Once, me and my friend and her current best friend were eating in the cafeteria. Me and my friend were done, so I suggested we go out to recess and leave her best friend to eat with another friend of hers. But my friend just HAD to stay with her bestie -- she was physically incapable of playing on the playground for ten minutes without her. Even after said bestie told her she could leave.
Another time, me and my friend were going to do a project together. At the last minute, her bestie asked her, so she copped out on me and went off with her bestie instead.
She's always been like that. It's kind of hard not to take it personally. It gets very frustrating. It's almost not worth hanging out with her sometimes. Someone once told me I've never been her bestie because I'm too independent and I don't guide her enough -- they said she wants someone who will decide what they'll do and dominate the conversation.
And they're right. That's not me.
