She’s another difficult button-pressing person I’ve learned how to keep at just the right distance. There have been periods of years where i defriended her, but we eventually made up. Now, we are in the home stretch of life. I understand just what she is and what she is not.

She’s mostly a text/phone friend. She’s so obnoxious in public, we very rarely go out with her.

When I defriended her, it is because she really crossed the line of not being a friend. Yet, I remain friends trying to walk the tightrope of balance.

I keep friends who I know would stab me in the back and use me. I stayed with a h who I know doesn’t make me feel good in delusional hopes that he will change, or I will grow out of my soul’s desires and instead developed a panic disorder.
