friends help: I’m being mistreated by a friend. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I’m being mistreated by a friend.

She cancels plans, never calls first, generally making me feel unwanted. But I really enjoy talking to her, more than with anyone else, and she is a rarity–not a lot of others like her. I know I should just give up on her, but it’s hard, because I feel terribly alone without her- she’s the only one who is one the same wavelength as I. I have other friends, it’s not a matter of finding a new group or anything, but I want to stay close with her, and yet she mistreats me so. What do I do?

She might be depressed. Stop being selfish and think about your friend.

Okay sara, What is the problem…Really? Is it that you are being neglected and made to feel second best to these ‘popular’ people?

Yes, I’d say the neglect. She takes me for granted. I don’t necessarily care about the other people, its just more detail to best understand the situation.

Don’t get tetchy with me, anon.

Some friendships end, some get put on the back burner for a while so one of the two can go out and experience new things. Stay in touch, but don’t be clingy.

Every so often, when I feel like whatever, it’s her life, if she doesn’t like me it doesn’t matter, she goes and does somethign that makes me think everything else was a fluke and she does care.

You know, my best friend and me were hanging out every week, and its okay if we dont but we havent talked for a while either, Im really exspressive and I know that kind of embaresses him around some of his other friends but it also makes him laugh, but I dont want to call him bcause I dont know if he still wants to be friend, I dont want to be around him all the time but I dont want to lose my friend either, so sara I kinda know how you feel exceot my friends a guy so I expect him to be an a$$ hahaha but you should just call her after a whil, maybe thats what shes waiting for, but ask her where your friendship stands though

Ya, that’s probably a good idea. Except I’m too afraid to ask where the friendship stands–I fear asking alone might ruin it. Plus, I know she’d say we’re still friends–and she still seems to want to be friends with me–she just takes me for granted. I’m not even sure if she realizes it.

This actually happened to me too, Sara. I had this friend who I thought was the world. She was my best friend, but eventually, she started finding a different group, and stopped being respectful of me and stopped caring about our friendship. Our friendship ended, but that wasn’t until after we talked alot about what going on. It just didn’t work out. Friendships sometimes end. That’s life. But, i would suggest you try to talk to her to work things out. That way, if it does end, at least you’ll know you tried to make it work. And that you were one who tried to fix your relationship.
