I have come to the conclusion that it is time to pull away from a friend, who I believe really doesn't respect me as a friend. She will contradict herself and make me feel bad. For example, it is okay for her to get pissed if someone postpones or cancel plans with her and she assumes they just don't want to be with her, yet if I do the same, she gets pissed at me and say I am being possessive or paranoid. Then she went through someone else to tell me to stop assuming she is trying to ditch me or ignore me instead of telling me herself on her own. The reason I feel that way is because when she is with other friends, she will bail out on plans or be very late without letting me know and the times I didn't remind her, she bailed completely. So recently I started politely reminding her and asking if we were still hanging out and she gets very annoyed with that. Also when she is with me, she will constantly text and have full conversations with others, but when she is with others, she will ignore my texts. If she is putting her phone away so she is not being rude, then that is fine, that is actually a good thing, but that means I want the same level of respect. Not sure if she is just ignoring only my texts or if she is respecting others way more than she respects me. Something tells me that when I graduate, she will completely cut off the friendship. She says she really likes me as a friend but something tells me she really doesn't, or she does but not as much as she likes her other friends. Do you take this as a sign of her being disrespectful and trying to pull away? If she is then I respect that, just tired of her contradicting herself. And she gets pissed if I call her out on it, yet it is okay for her to call me out on things. I think it is also an insecurity thing. Just curious at what is going on. It may be best to completely let her go. Yes I will be upset about it, but it has happened so many times in my life that I'm practically used to people coming in and out of my life. And if I get accepted into grad school, maybe I'll make new friends since I found out that it is possible to make friends in grad school after all, since before I thought it was impossible. Do you think I'm overreacting or do you think she is actually being disrespectful? Just curious.
