Yes, yes yes and yeah.

Okay. Consider this. It is good to be wrestling with a relationship. It helps us grow.

Maybe I need to grow a thicker skin????????

Also...I might add. I am in a very vulnerable place myself and that is why my friend is bugging me. I realize mostly she is the emotional taker and I am the giver. She can't switch.

I need some new friends!!!! Not to replace my old friend...but for balance. I am pretty sick of toxic friends. I just would like...maybe nice superficial friends to go eat ice cream and Mexican food with???

Also, I think girlfriends bug me more when I am without a viable and progressive career path, or an intimate relationship.

Your thread has helped me get perspective.

Oh, my friend seems to have lost her sense of humor. I did try to make a joke out of the fact we were both suicidally depressed...and she got all twisted and touchy.

Oh, I know my best friend and I are terribly neurotic, mental, and twisted. Haha.

But it would be nice to fill in the gaps with a couple of boring friends. I say this but boring friends...they bore me and I can't tolerate them. Haha.

It's all okay. Great thread. Made my day. Thanks again.
