I just realized what a great place this is for encouragement and affirmations. I don't have a lot of contact with people, so I email people. I don't really have any friends I can talk to. Soo.... I sent an email to a "friend" I reconnected with last year from high school. I asked her to let me know where I stand with her. She sent back a very nasty note telling me I should stop feeling sorry for myself (when did I do that?) except I told her I was sick. She said "it's not like we're dating" Well, how absurd. We're friends - I thought. I had told her that I was not feeling well. She never resopnded.

But she told me she is going to Korea and she got a new belt in karate. She said her messages to me just seem to make me feel insecure (which they sort of do, I'll admit).

I think she's blowing it way out of proportion. Isn't it ok to ask where you stand with a friend? Or is that out of line?
