I totally get you on that right there, shatteredsanity ...

Friendships in real life don't work out for me very well, either ... I'm either too much or not enough and often feel it's not okay to talk about my real life issues and struggles and that leaves me feeling as if they only want me around when I'm up and entertaining then want me to go back in my cave when I'm down, gloomy and/or withdrawn.

I realize I'm not "normal", but I'm "normal" for me based on what I've been through, and so are you!

Those that only want bright, shiny pennies to hang out with are going to be disappointed to find I'm tarnished on the inside so why bother putting myself through that kinda heartache anymore?

Again, sorry you've got the friendship blues too ...

Sincerely,
Pfrog!



ps. Ive got this one person I thought was a good, close friend that relocated to a city about 1.5 hours away last June ... I've done all I can to maintain connection, and have come to realize that perhaps they don't see our friendship the same way I do, so I've decided I'm not going to initiate anymore contact for a while to see if they reach out ... If not, I figure that one's over too, and though it saddens me, perhaps it's the kindest cut of all to simply allow another friendship to simply fade away ...
