TragicAlliance Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Well, as it turns out, I've managed to detect a fake friend in my midst. It was over the world's stupidest reason, but I'm glad to have discovered it. This "friend" posted tonight about how excited she was about the royal wedding. I commented that I would be glad when it's all over, as I find it over-hyped and found it inappropriate to be so happy about it when that massive storm system killed nearly 300 people yesterday. She replied to me that, "I don't dwell on negative things, just saying." My next comment was on my own page: "When you people are crying your tears of 'joy' in a little while, I hope you take a moment to remember those who are crying tears of sorrow. The hype is overrated." Well, apparently, my "friend" believes that I can't have an opinion that is my own, for she fired off at me. Somewhere in there, she threw in "When you tried killing yourself, nobody said [expletive] about that." Her next statement was, "You just WANT to be depressed. I have no sympathy for people like you." My response? "If you have no sympathy for 'people like me,' then get out of my life." Needless to say, I am now one friend less than I was yesterday. And no, I'm not crying over it. I find it horribly pathetic that she even dared to attack me for a mistake I made during an emotional vulnerability. If you have to kick someone when they're down, you're not a friend, you're SCUM. If you have no "sympathy" for "people like me," why were you posing as my friend? What does that say about YOU? Yes, perhaps my comments were "spiteful" or whatever. But if it helped me detect a faker, then I say it was a good thing! I don't have many friends, yes, but I'd rather have a few TRUE friends than a bunch of fair-weathered fakes. And I may see who else is fake in the next few days. If I have my guesses right, she'll go tell all our mutual friends how horrible I am. Oh well, I guess only time will tell.
orangelady Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 I don't know why your friend thought it was depressive of you to say that...
Author TragicAlliance Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 I honestly have no idea. Nor do I have any idea why she absolutely had to throw out my suicide attempts and make them public for everyone to see. That seemed so much like a personal attack than anything else. Very few people know of my emotional history, and I prefer to keep it that way for a reason. I find it very interesting that she even knew about it to begin with, as I don't recall ever telling her about it... I guess my little sister may be the culprit there. Dunno. Regardless, what she did was totally inappropriate, uncalled for, nasty, and cold-hearted... no matter how upset she was at me for my snarky comment. That would be like her confiding a secret to me and then having me go around with a megaphone shouting it for all to hear. You just don't do that if you genuinely care for someone. The funny thing was, she told me I was being immature for not confronting her on her own page, but mine. However, when I sent her messages over IM, she never once responded. Guess that said a lot, too.
