Just had a friend hide from me!

I was just on the way back from the school run, I live on a main road so people can park all along it.
A good friend of mine parks there as she gets a lift into work from someone who lives up the road from me.
As I’m pulling up on my drive I see her getting out of her car but I’m already passed her to beep to acknowledge her (she defo sees me at this point)
So as I’m reversing on my drive I see her cross over the road (she normally walks my side and we’ll wave or a quick chat)
Then as I’m reversing she hides behind a large van opposite so that I can’t see her as I’m parked facing the road!
So I waited in my car to see if she would emerge the other side of the van but she didn’t. It was so obvious!
The thing is I’m the last person to hold someone up or chat for ages (massive introvert) and she’s the opposite and absolutely loves a chat.
We are actually going on holiday together next Monday with 2 other girls (me and one of the girls are paying for it as a treat as the other 2 are financially struggling).
I know I can be really sensitive but that just really hurt this morning. Also was my birthday in March and I didn’t even get a card from the 2 girls.

She’s late and doesn’t have time for that in the mornings just wave and let her carry on with getting herself to work.

This. I have questions about the holiday though. Is she feeling weird about you paying? I probably would, so I'm wondering if it's that too.

So a little update. She txt me first thing this morning to ask how I was and was looking forward to going away 😅 so that’s answered that then but the early txt to me means she defo saw me yesterday and ducked me for whatever reason 🤷‍♀️

Or/and she came across this thread? 😬

I'm the sort of person that would make a split second decision that I couldn't speak to someone, then change my mind but then feel like I couldn't and it would all be horribly awkward.... Let it go.

But you've done nothing wrong @Nefrititi. You've been kind to a friend. And have been upset that she avoided you.

IF she's read the thread, she'll know that some of the consensus of others is that she's a bit of a user. And maybe will make an effort to appreciate you a little more.

Well that’s good then! Maybe she just had her own reasons for avoiding you. No biggie imo.
