The Venting Thread

Thanks so much Meagan and Fran It means so much. I don't want to be at my wits end... but I am emotionally exhausted and I'm sick of sticking my neck out over and over to no avail. I like the oceans/puddles thing.

Please save me from this dog who gets a tiny cut on his legs and decides amputation is the only way to save himself.

No, it's just a hoax, they go around on different people from time to time.

Not to be too snarly with you here, but it's Roseann. I don't give a **** about a public figure.

Roseann was my neighbor when I was growing up, and was a huge influence/mentor in my life. She was one of the kindest, most non-judgmental people I know. Last time we talked she was healthy and doing so much better, and was off the pain meds. I used to drive her to her doctors appointments 3x a week.

And my mother broke it to me yesterday when I was out in public that she passed away, which was really... NOT the right time or place to do it.

I'm sorry. I just saw this going around on Facebook and was wondering. I'm so sorry for your loss And I agree, breaking the news in public is NOT the way to do it. That's crappy.

I feel like crying and like I have no one to talk to so I'm posting here. My best friend of two and a half years has suddenly decided to pretend I don't exist. We have been inseparable since we've met, told each other everything, her mom even calls me her other daughter. We both thought this would be like a lifelong friendship kind of thing. Last week I tried making an effort to make plans to see a movie with her and felt like I was forcing her into it, then she later bailed on me. She never texts me and barely talks to me at work (and only about work related things). Today, I found out she volunteered to work a day we had previously booked off to celebrate my birthday. I have brought up how I feel, in a very non-accusatory kind of way, but she says she's just stressed out right now, I haven't done anything wrong, etc. I understand she's stressed, but I'm here for her whether she wants to talk about it or get her mind off of it (and I told her that). It's been weeks and things haven't improved, and I'm still sad, but also starting to get a little pissed off. I don't know why all my relationships always end up with me putting in way more than I recieve.

I need better friends.

I wanted to make a post about this a month ago and ultimately decided it just wasn't worth it. About two months ago she stopped talking to me or asking to hang out, and the rest of our group of friends stopped inviting us to do anything. Adam said something to her boyfriend and was told that nothing's wrong. I said something to her and her reaction was not one of surprise or sadness that I was feeling left out. She practically yelled at me. Things aren't better. They invited us over and it was just awkward. No one talked to us. (Yet nothing was wrong, apparently.) We were a group of three couples. Earlier in the year, the boyfriend of the other couple was constantly ****-talking the youngest couple and not inviting them anywhere, so I'd text them and invite them myself. I imagine he's doing the same thing to us now, but neither member of the younger couple cares enough to invite us, I guess. It's not worth it anymore. She asked me to hang out a couple weeks ago, but I think it was only because I had gotten her a present for her birthday. She acted like she had no interest in being there, and the next day they all went out to dinner together without saying anything to us.

Sorry for what turned into my own vent, but I understand how you feel. The hardest part is not understanding what went wrong, but I don't think I'll ever get an answer. Just need to move on and find people who actually care.

Someone in a facebook group I'm in is freaking our because I said how much I love Orange is the New Black. So her and her husband decided to watch it and are now scarred for life because they saw boobs.

Dude, I'm not your tv censor or your mother. Good thing she turned it off or she would have seen a (gasp!) vagina too.

:rofl1::rofl1:

So I guess they dont have mirrors...or dress in the dark?
