I've been mulling this one over
Friend A is upset about my friendship with B
We would often meet as a trio and were all individual friends too
I thought it was life changing meeting these girls and I thought it was a very inclusive balanced friendship, everyone was very considerate of eachother
I was shocked to hear A felt differently
She feels she introduced us but actually I know B from other places too & as she happened to know A we started all meeting together
It turns out A was badly bullied growing up and I have only recently found this out about her
It explains a lot about her (bossy & controlling) and her reaction to this
I want to reach out & help her but don't know how
I'm thinking - a self-help book? Signposting her to counselling?
I am trying to understand how proper bullying affects someone
Any thoughts at all anyone?
