Was angry now sad

I have just learned that someone who was supposed to be a friend (at one stagein the recent past), has been lying about me to others. She has been Fabricating email messages and saying that I wrote them to her and from the one I read which someone was strong enought to send to me and say "hey this isn't like you what's up?" The others wouldn't be nice either.

I have only recently stabilized out here after spending a little time alone and I was worried about the flight or fight response which just didn't come, it didn't happen. I didn't want to confront her or fight about it and I didn't want to avoid the issue. The outcome was that I can't control what other people say and do, I have my neuroses she has hers .

But I wanted to just get this out so that it doesn't sneak its way into my psyche and work me up. It (my psyche), is feeling a long needed sense of inner peace and contentment and I am really enjoying that,

((Rhiannonsmoon)) - I can understand why you're so upset - that's a very nasty thing to do to you. It's also scary when this happens. I don't have any wise advice but I think you're wise in avoiding a confrontation. So sorry this happened.

Rhiannon - good for you! I love that you have inner peace at the moment. I wish it on everyone xx
Don't let others every get you down!

Thanks Belle & Lynn,

I appreciate your wisdom. Sometimes it's hard to take a step back but at the moment it's easy to just look and shake my head.

Thanks again, thanks for even answering

Hugs,

Rhiannon

How are you feeling today about your situation? I admire how you didn't let this bother you. How do you avoid seething about this?

rhia good for you! i was told, what other people say about me is none of my business. that works well for me. the truth shall set us free. if we know the truth, it is irrelavent the distortions spoken by others. simplicity at it's finest!

Your true friends, like the one that forwarded the nasty email and said, "doesn't seem like you" are going to be able to recognize and deal with the non-friend. Were I a joint friend I would be dropping her as friend, recognizing that if she could do that to you, she could do that to any of her "friends" and was not worth being friends with at this time.

It is so hard to find out that those we thought were our friends weren't really our friends at all. Been there.

Congratulations to you for not giving in to the dark side: confronting the "friend" and making a huge drama or stuffing your dignity inside in hopes of keeping "friends". KUDOS to you!!

It's alos great to know that you do have a true friend (or more, I'd venture to say) in the one who came to you. Very nice.

Thank you for sharing your sad encounter, but actually a very positive story!
