Hey @candysweet05
I know that you are worried that your friend might be able to identify you which is okay, but I was wondering if you felt comfortable re-editing the post and removing all the specific details? That way other members in the community have the opportunity to also reply and may be able to offer some advice or may have experienced something similar? If not, that is also okay.
It sounds like you are such a caring and compassionate friend. I can tell that you really listen to your friend and your gestures are very reflective of this. Even by posting this, it shows how much you care and value your friendship and your friend is very lucky to have you.
I’m really sorry to hear that you’ve experienced this, it is understandable how upsetting it must be for you. From what you’ve shared, it sounds like your new friend has been really kind and that you have created a lovely new friendship.
I was wondering if you have tried to speak to your friend about the way you’re feeling and about how her comment really hurt and confused you. Sometimes it can be difficult to have these conversations, but it is really important that you do to maintain healthy friendships. I wanted to share some steps on how to tell your friend they’ve hurt you which I thought could be helpful. There’s also some great resources available about friendships if you wanted to have a look through. Do you think that you would be comfortable speaking to your friend about this?
It is really important to surround yourself with good people and have healthy friendships. Sometimes friendships can become toxic and it’s important to know when this is the case. I wanted to include this article about toxic friendship that has a quiz that helps you figure out if your friendship is toxic. It also has some other information and tips that might be useful for you.
Thank you again for sharing this with us. If you do feel comfortable editing your post, other community members might be able to offer some more support or might also be experiencing something similar.
