Firstly, I’ll admit that I spend far too much time on social media (for various reasons),so maybe this is a bigger deal to me than to others, who will no doubt tell me to get over myself. Story is that we had a close member pass away recently, and I received a FB friend request from a fairly, but not very, close family member. I haven’t seen this person in years, but we are exactly the same age, just a few days apart, and went to school together. Frankly, she was vile to me. I was bullied relentlessly throughout school, but she was one of the worst. I can’t decide whether to “be the bigger person” and “let bygones be bygones”, or delete it and carry on with my life. In the greater scheme of things, it probably sounds melodramatic, but even seeing her name has triggered a load of unpleasant memories for me. If she wasn’t close to some of my extended family, that I love very much,it wouldn’t even be a question, tbh.
