Hi Miss Laura,
I experienced a similar situation with a work colleague/friend. In my case the friend started backstabbing me.
Anyway... I don't know about friendships being the "weirdest relationships to have" (your words, btw) but I think that as far as relationships go, they are definitely a heck of a lot more complicated when you are adult.
Developing friends when I was a kid was sooooo freakin' easy!!!! All one had to do was look around for somebody on the school playground.
It seems like friendships as an adult are nothing but soap opera drama.
Sometimes I wonder if they are worth the effort, but then I come across people who help me to forget the toxic friends I've had.
Anyway... kudos to you on your new friend. Hopefully this will be a long lasting friendship.

I have had a bad relationship with a girl who i thought was a friend and a best friend at that. However she just wanted to use me. I found out the hard way. This has opened my mind up to the fact that people are not always as they seem. She was an awesome mate and we did alot of things together. But within 3 months she was a complete and utter *****. She just used me as i was shy and an easy target. She was a work colleague before i left my job. Our other colleagues all could not understand how we became friends. As we are so different. So now i am more cautious about who i am friends with. Like my best mate now is just the complete opposite to my last mate. She is someone who is similar to me. We have a lot in common. I met her through my work. She is someone who "gets" me. All my issues she gets and still likes me. Even though i am a complete idoit she still likes me. My relationship with her is far better than my previous friendship.
I think friendships are the weirdest relationships to have. You either have a close friend or a milllion friends. I am lucky i have found a close friend who likes me for who i am. She is trying to get me to open up a bit more and to chill out a bit more. But apart from that she likes me for me. Not because she has to.
Hope this helps  |
