LLL I had an online friend who blasted me 3 times in a month about my guy. I mean blasted! Just out of the blue. She was brutal with some of the stuff she said but what really got me is that she snapped the way she did. She also started to see someone around the same time. So the last time she did it, I said ok if we can't discuss him I'm good with that, I'm sorry you don't understand why I do what I do, but I can't explain it any better. She kept saying she'd be exhausted not knowing, well guess what, that's you not me. Anyway I sent her that email and never heard back from her until over a week later. She spent a week telling me via email that she was justified, I was stupid to be doing what I was doing, I was pushing away all my friends, I should be grateful that I had someone (her) in my life to tell me the truth. I didn't answer the first couple because I was kind of flabbergasted that she emailed me like that after so long when I had replied to her last email anyway. And as the week went on I realized that she never once asked if I was ok or busy (I had an appointment with a surgeon scheduled in this time frame that she knew about), she just assumed I was being childish and mad at her. And that I felt was pretty damn rude. Now the funny thing is, I had a reading with a private psychic in early Dec that told me I'd stop speaking to a female friend in July due to her big mouth and I automatically assumed it would be someone from one of my jobs LOL. So I agree, friendships are as hard as relationships which is probably why I don't have many of either!
<update> Well she sent me another email this morning. She is still calling me childish for not getting back in touch with her and said i should be adult enough to just tell her I don't want to be friends. But wow what I was supposed to think after not hearing from her for over a week? I don't use that account for much other than her and horoscopes and I know I told her it was a not-often used account. Truthfully the reason I didn't answer her right way was because I had a T appointment that week and her first couple of emails were kind of vile and I wanted to talk to him about it. So it has never once occurred to her that something happened to me - which I find odd since if I have someone I haven't heard from in a long time MY first thought is if they are ok.
As for fb I do the same thing with the pic. I find it funny that he's dyed his hair in the past year yet none of the fb pix he's put up show his "new" look. I wonder why? And isn't it annoying when they lock down their friend lists too? lol
