She responded, and said everything I didn't want to hear. She is a completely different person and it's just breaking my heart. I don't know what to do at all. I really don't.
She basically said that she knows she's changed and she's happy. That she has "tons of friends now" and that makes her happy. (She's still in school.) So it being popular is what is important to her, I really don't know what to tell her. She's pushing away her true friends for friends that make her FEEL like she's popular. And I am not the only friend who is feeling this way, another of her close friends is in the same mindset and has expressed the exact same feelings to her as my sister and I have, so I told her to take a step back and ask herself why her true friends, the people who have been there for her are worried about her.
I'm sorry this is happening. Losing a friend sucks. I have a very hard time letting go of friends. But sometimes, you need a break. It might be a month, it might be a year. You might never reconcile. I just recently talked to three people I ended on bad terms with.... 2 years ago.
You don't seem like you're in a happy place right now, not including this situation. Sometimes people have to figure out things on their own. If she's telling you she's happy (even if you feel she isn't) I don't think you crying is going to help matters. You'll just end up feeling worse and worse about the whole situation and she'll be hanging with friends, feeling fine.
I agree with the others. It's tough, but it's part of life. And I know you feel differently because you two have been together for a long time. But that really doesn't mean much under the age of like...18. A childhood friend rarely stays an adulthood friend. But that's okay. You want to grow. Change isn't a bad thing.
I really am sorry you're in this mess. It's hard. But don't keep setting yourself up for heartbreak.
My vent/sads
The job shadowing I went on was pretty awful. I spent 6 hours trudging through neighborhoods with two other girls. In 30 degree weather that was windy and spitting snow. I really thought this company was a different thing. It seems like they are SOMETIMES. But their current campaign is just not for me. I'm not a go to your door and sell you something person. I'm friendly, but not THAT friendly. And the jokes were cheesy and I honestly would have turned them away. :lol-sign: They were only 'selling' to people that had some history with the company they were marketing for, so at least there's that. But... still. It's not my thing.
And I'm pretty sure they're going to call me today and offer me the job. Even though I practically told the boss it wasn't for me and I didn't feel I would be a benefit. "Oh we can train you". I don't understand why you would hire someone who basically told you "I would suck at this job."
Did I mention it's entirely COMMISSION? Ugh.
