So I feel the pandemic has made me tolerate peoples crap a lot less and have decided to just cut out mates who I feel bear no greatness on my life and I feel like I’m
better without them , I am usually the mate who does too much for people and it’s rarely reciprocated .
However I don’t have a massive circle which is fine for my age range I guess - I have a handful of good mates and that’s all I want.
But I have one , who I would class as my best friend , I love her to bits but I’m sensing huge fakeness with her of late .
She is one of them people who makes out everyone is her best mate, she literally has friends coming out of everywhere I’ve never known it before , she will post a pic of people I’ve never even heard of she is one of them that makes you feel like the best person in the world but then on her next post it’s about the “next fabulous mate” but then when I see her she’s slagging them off or telling me something they did to annoy her and that I’m the only person she fully trusts blah blah blah.
She has a lot of money and can do a lot more stuff than me and I suppose I feel a little jealous and left behind, even since I was younger I feel I’ve never been anyone’s best mate truly ! Why would that be, I feel I’m a really good and genuine friend.
I go out my way to get her lovely birthday cards and presents and same for Christmas and in the 11 years we have been mates she has never bought me a gift or even sent me a birthday card , it’s odd .
I know this isn’t first world problems , I just feel sad about it .
Any advise welcome , just want to hear others views and I know I sound a little over sensitive , I am , it’s been a rough few years
