I have this friend that I've known since I was five. We're both in our 20s now and we're losing contact, which is fine, because we don't have much in common. The thing that I don't understand about her is that she has always bottled up her feelings. I'll give you some examples. We take driving lessons and we've both switched instructors. I tell her how lousy my first instructor was and that I'm happy with my new instructor. When I ask her, why did she switch instructors? she just replies "Oh the first instructor was nice, but I find my new one better" and I'm thinking to myself, well if you found your first instructor nice, then that doesn't explain why you switched instructors. Another example, a few months ago, we were at this hen party for a friend and it was so boring, that we sat down all the time. When both parents asked us how did the party go, I was honest and said I found it boring and she just replied, "I thought it was great" and I think to myself "How could you find it fun when you were sitting in the corner the whole time?" That's what she can be like and sometimes when I send her text messages, I'm doing most of the talking, she doesn't really talk about what's going on in her life.
