I am honestly so tired of people who only think about themselves. My friend of 18 years decided she needed "space from this friendship". Simply because I am in a place in my life where I am happy and she is not. But I fought hard to be where I am today. I had to learn to walk again at 22 for fricks sake. Before that I was in an emotionally abusive relationship that would have turned physical, luckily the last girl he did it to is a kind soul and she got me out of there. Before I was even fully recovered from being as sick as I was, I found myself a full time job and started working. I work hard and I look after myself and my "friend' hates it. I have done everything I can to be there for this girl in times that she is down and times that she is happy. On my birthday she called me to trauma dump, MY BIRTHDAY. And when I try to talk about my plans for my future, such as moving in with BF she can't handle it and be happy for me? I have made the decision to permanently cut her out of my life.
She is perfectly comfortable working part time the rest of her life and living a mediocre lifestyle. She complains about her body and honestly tries to make me feel bad for being fit because she's not (I am only moderately fit and am still technically overweight). But again, I put in the work. I have tried to get her to work out with me and do something to make her feel better. Honestly exercise is good for so many different things besides weight loss. On days when I really don't want to workout but force myself to, I always feel so much better afterward. She doesn't seem to understand that and would rather wallow in self pity and blame me for her feeling bad about herself. I don't think she has ever been happy for me once and every time I have a boyfriend all I hear about is how easy it is for me. She only wants to be my friend when I am as miserable as her.
Then today my coworker, who was supposed to be back at work since mid February, but has only showed up about 4 times since then, called me to tell me she is quitting. Her reasoning? Our boss sent her an email to let her know that she has run out of sick days. She expected my sympathy but honestly her not showing up to work has affected my job. Now I am going to have to be trained to do her job until we can find someone to replace her. And even today she was supposed to show up after her meeting with HR but she didn't. Our boss has bent over backwards to accommodate her missing work and she is so ungrateful for it. I am so ridiculously fed up with her. To be quite honest she brings a lot of drama with her to the work place and i think in the end we will be better off without her.
