Agreed with the above... friends are a choice and just like picking the right tomato, steak, or puppy... you sometimes have to sort through a few dozen or more until you find a good match.

I've experienced multiple real and perceived rejections in my life and it never gets easier... in fact, it gets harder sometimes. Still, I lived... sometimes sadder than the day before... but sometimes happier because I realized that the closed door opened several others.

The people who were there for me at the most critical timesin my life where never the ones whose friendships I'd pursued or questioned... it weas just the ones that happened naturally. I know I've been lucky and not everyone finds those so easily... so I'm sending good wishes that things get better soon.

Be well.
