I dont know if this helps at all..its just my opinion...Phoenix
Hi Phoenix

I have difficulties feeling close to my friend due to her OCD and strong type A personality. In addition, she has told me that she talks about me and other ppl at work. So, I don't feel that we have an authentic relationship built on trust and boundaries. She is on the other hand a very nice person but at times can be difficult to tolerate (OCD behaviors).

I just don't feel comfortable opening up to her anymore for the mere fact that she discloses somethings I tell her to other ppl.

And yesterday she didn't see a reason for respecting my boundaries and NEED to do homework and have private time.

I don't know....I feel clueless at this point....but I am glad that I stood up to her and set a boundary with her. She didn't like it at all.

So esstentially, I am friendless for the time being. Focusing on my academics and self-improvement.

Any additional comments, suggestions, insights, advice...is more than welcomed!
