My friend came to visit for a whole week. We've been friends for like 20 years, but we only lived in the same country for like 4-6 of those 20.
I've never had that many friends anyway and I do consider her one of best frirnde, but I guess that's more out of "continuity" so to speak.
Because of work and life I don't get to engage with people that much, so having her with me for 7 days non stop felt incredibly draining.
I also realised that we dont have that much in common anymore and that we see life VERY differently.
Last time I saw her for a very extended period of time was like 7 years ago.
I'm glad she's left now but I feel bad about feeling that way too. She hasn't done anything inherently wrong (yes she's a bit stubborn about things she really doesn't understand - like my job) but nothing to vouch making me feel so drained. I still feel like a bad friend for feeling this way.
