I know a lot of people but don’t have many friends, and the friends I do have are constantly hurt by me.
Maybe it’s the lack of sleep I’ve been enduring, the amount on my plate, or the newest of the many dilemmas I seem to have. Things are spilling out today, causing me to look at myself in a new light. The consensus I’ve come to is that I am without a doubt a terrible friend, if not person.
Canada Day was my “one year friend-o-versery” with my closest friend “Steve”. We’ve been through a lot; dated, I wasn’t a great…errr good boyfriend, but some how we managed to become great friends after.
I get along great with his room mate “Jamie”, and we all have an amazing time together. I would love to be able to have a friendship with Jamie, but I know Steve will not like to be left out of any activities, and it will cause a rift. I secretly resent him for this.
Since we broke up we both have dated other people. Me more so, and he has expressed his distaste for seeing me with anyone in front of him a number of times. I feel like I’m on pins and needles all the time, yet have managed to parade my affairs in front of him, and have shown a lack of remorse.
Two weeks ago I made out with one of his friends in front of him. He hasn’t talked to the other friend since.
Last weekend, Steve, Jamie and I were introduced to a new good looking, young fun guy. He and I hit it off and have been spending a lot of time together this past week. He also things Steve and Jamie and great guys and is becoming friends with them.
Yesterday was Canada Day. I Had beach plans with Steve and Jamie. I invited “Lance”(new guy) along. He was talking to Jamie, who then told Steve that I had invited him. I got a furious call from Steve. He expressed that he didn’t want to see “it” in front of him, and actually told me that Lance couldn’t come to the beach. After calming down we were able to talk it out and we all went to the beach. After the beach we went for lunch, where some discreet under the table touching was observed. Lance went to work, and I got what felt like yet another lecture, although I did earned it. It seems Lance is going to become friends with Jamie, and Steve with or without me.
I LOVE my friends. Lance is amazing, and has serious potential.
I feel like I’ve perfected the friendship “don’ts” and should take a serious stab at the “do’s”
Hopefully I have nothing further to confess.
