Is it normal for me personally to be hurt from this?

Ok I had been friends with this girl who is about 5 years older than me for nearly 4 years.

So long story short she never got out too much. Her father left her and her mom when she was wee little. But I met her while working at a fast food restaurant my junior year in high school so of course I was a teenager. We would hangout quite a bit too.

But after a while of being around her from going to college and coming back during summer to work there I noticed the change in me and how she didn't change. She is a type where she only basically talks about her self and complains quite a bit. I started noticing more last year because after I hungout with her I was so drained when I came home but at the same time her mother did die about a year or so after knowing her. So she lives on her own too. She would go on how we are best friends to people at work too and so on.

But one point last year when were talking on the phone I pretty much had enough of her complaining and all I told her was that she needs to get out more. She got pissed off at me for saying that. So we talked much less after that. And really haven't talked for maybe a little less than a year.

But I notice anymore when I'm around her I would be hey and say her name. And ask her how she is doing. She basically ignores that I'm around when all I was trying to be was a friend. I just needed space too, I had been going through a lot myself. She really didn't know considering I guess she didn't really pay attention to me much just about her car accident and her mom being in the same car and passing away after that happened 2 years ago. Yes I understand that it was hard but goodness it was draining me.

But I have a feeling if I do try to talk to her about it she basically won't try to talk to me about why she is acting the way she does. I think she basically acts like a child and does really need to get out more. But I feel hurt from this for some reason when I should just live my life and ignore her too. I swear she doesn't like optimistic people and used me like I was her mom. And I really don't want to be friends because I know I wouldn't be happy around her again unless she changes and I'm not going to make it happen when she wants to be her.

I have to work with her again now until I find a job that will be much better and that I would enjoy more. But there is a plus she is a manager too. But I need to get over it and just forget but I feel hurt.

And sorry this really isn't that short but there really is more to this story. lol.

        Oh I do, but in today's fast paced modern society who has the time?

    • Yes I know. I didn't mean for it to end up that long. I was just stressed.

    There are some people who want everything to be about them. I feel bad that her mother died, but the way I understood it, that was quite some time before she got mad at you. She does need to get out more, and I have no idea why she would be so stubborn about not being friends anymore. Just give her space, and she will come to you if she wants, otherwise live your own life, and spend your time around people that make you happy.

    Quite frankly you sound like the bitch. Her mom died in a car crash that she was in and you tell her to stop complaining? Take a nap with your head inside an oven.

    • I didn't tell her to stop complaining. I told she needed to get out more and she got pissed at that; I was just giving her a suggestion on what to do. Plus she never had ever really bothered to care to see how I am. It was always her. I would be stressed and she wouldn't care to talk to me about it, acted like everything was fine and dandy.

      Yes I understand her mother died in a car accident but she would say the same things over and over again to me. It was so draining and I would talk about something and she would ignore what I would say and then talk about the car accident some more and like I said it was years later and the same stuff. I was there to support her and all I did was listen.

    Advice for next time buddy: people don't have patience to read more than 3-4 lines. Keep it short and sharp!

    Why do YOU feel hurt? Her parents died not yours. I understand that she dissed you and all but she is probably going through a very hard time up in her life.

    No one likes for someone to point out their faults, and when someone is miserable, they like to have someone to listen to them complain! It s hard, yes but it seems she needs someone, and you could be the one to lead her out more to find new friends and a new world. There is rewards in helping someone like her, so give it some more thought and reach out to her!

    Does she have other friends? It sounds like you were a support system for her and your dismissal of her problems was a little insensitive. She was draining you and have every right to feel upset. Some people are very draining. And the fact that you are hurt shows that you do care for her well being, you have a history. Talk to her and set up boundaries. Let her know that you can't listen to constant complaining. But don't tell her to get out more. While it might be true, it isn't helpful.

    Do i get cash or a medal for reading all this? The girl has some emotional issues, you guys aren't really get along anymore. You don't have to be friends. Be polite and professional while working with her and go on with your own life -nothing to be hurt about.
