Reality check

So, an old friend of mine was pretty upset with me today and she told me some pretty harsh things. First of all she said I was "more annoying that a toothache," which you know, it's not something you want to hear. I mean, I'm not stupid, you know? I know I'm clingy and I tend to get too attached to people, and I know I talk too much, and I drive people crazy... I know all that, because trust me, I've been told that before from different people. But you know, when someone knows you and says they care about you, it's hard to hear something like that.

She then went on to tell me that I'm incredibly self-centered and that I take everything too personal when things are not even about me. And she has a point there too. It's happened to me a few times that people come talk to me about something and I think it's about me when it's really not. But it's not like I go all arrogant and say that. I'd like to think that I'm good at hearing people out and giving my opinion, whether it involves me or not.

And I tell her this and says that I'm still too emotional and sensitive. You can imagine that I was losing my patience at this point. You know what? We're all sensitive. When people say things a certain way, it bothers us. Some people just hide it better than others, as simple as that. So I told her that what bothered was the fact that when I didn't like something, I told her, and she started to say that I'm just too dramatic. And maybe I am, but when someone has this amount of bad things to say to you, in a rather hurtful way, you realize what it is they're really trying to say. It's not like you need a sixth sense to know when a friendship just isn't the same anymore. The sad part is, I'll miss her, even if she doesn't miss me.
