I had a good friend (not best friend) who likes ballroom dancing. She always wants to go somewhere with someone....so when I invited her to come to my ballroom dance class new years party she wanted to go but wanted to meet & she would drive. She was there for a short while & decided she wanted to leave, leaving it so I either had to leave early with her or find another ride back to my truck & inconvenience someone from my dance class. Sweet people from my class offered to take me to my truck after the dance was over so I stayed.

Several months later she told me about this swing dance going on all afternoon at a park in a neighboring town. I had errands I needed to get done that day but told her I would meet her & go with her after I was done.....like we couldn't have met there??? So I got done with my errands which would have put us 45 minutes late arriving at an activity that was going on all afternoon. She got mad that she would be that late. I said....go without me....doesn't bother me. After thinking back to that new years eve dance & how I could have been angry about what she did to me & a day trip we made together to a home show event that was less than plesant dealing with her impatience & attitudes about situations we encountered, I realized in reality it was much better to keep her at an acquaintance level.....several others from our horse group have realized the same thing.

I think as we do get to really know people we realize their true colors. Honestly you might be better off not having someone like that as your best friend if that is the personality she is going to be with you. Let time pass & see how things go but be on guard if she does come back & want to resume the friendship as it was.

Meds or no meds....the way someone treats you still comes from what is within them.
