Hey guys, I just wanna talk about losing a friend. Honestly, I've never really lost a friend in my entire life before. Today is the first day I've ever lost a friend. The reason why I'm writing this on my blog is cos I don't want anyone to know the truth of how i felt during this period of time. ( I mean i dun think anyone reads this blog anyways. ) I don't want anyone to know cos I want them to side my friend cos I know she needs it more than me.
Before I start anything, I want you guys to know that what I'm about to write is gonna look like I'm blaming her for everything but please read it to the end.
Now lets just refer to her as May. So I guess it all started when she started becoming boy crazy and hungry for love, I mean like i know there's alot of girls like that but she just grew to become more in need of boys. Like as if she can't live without them, she always told me and our friends about all her boyfriends, ex, guys who like her or who she likes. At first we didn't mind at all cos I think thats wad we all talk about once in awhile but she as we grew older, she started talking more and more about and it became something like, something she couldn't live without. Now the problem is, she changes who she likes very fast and she always asks us for advice, we always told her to not be clingy or so into guys but I guess it was probably a language she just couldn't understand. We actually gave her so many chances when she disappointed us with her actions but obviously, she doesn't know. Then there was a point of time where we just couldn't take it anymore, we felt that she's changed, into a really different person, as if she was a stranger. I used to know her as an innocent and kind girl who wouldn't go over the line and stick to not doing "bad stuff". But now she seems to be so distant. I ask myself so many times "Is she rly the May I used to know?" We then started to confront her to tell her everything that she's been doing, we told her that she shouldn't be doing the things she did. (Not going to state what she did) We spent hours and hours on talking to her, she cried cos we were probably too straightforward. But we knew that if we weren't, she wouldn't even understand.
Now, here comes the worse part. Everything we said, nothing, NOTHING went into her hear. I mean she apologised, but she didn't know what she even did wrong. It was an empty apology. She has been asking us for many 'favours' until we felt that we were being used. I was rly disappointed in her and I even told her face to face, but she still didn't change and continued to do the things we didn't like and even more things. I really felt so helpless. I didn't even blame her for using me and i told her that cos I always felt that many ppl used me alrdy so its ok. I'm just shocked at how much a person can change. Like I'm sure you have that childhood friend that suddenly changed to be like a.. monster? I know it must really hurt to see your close friend turn out to be like that especially when whatever you say wont get into his/her head. I believe that its cos they cant face reality so they decide to only hear what they want to hear and go with the ppl who encourage them. But I'm scared... cos I don't know if those so called 'good ppl' are real or fake? I guess I'm just worried I can never see her as someone familiar anymore.
Recently, I've seen her instagram posts and she looks so happy... with all these 'new friends' of hers. But here's how I feel now... When I saw those pictures, it was when she didn't text me for a long time. So I just thought to myself, "wow... she must be having the time of her life without me". This is only place where I can rly share my feelings without thinking about any consequences so I'm just gonna say everything. I felt that she didn't need me in her life anymore so I decided that this 'friendship' has to end. To me, she was becoming more and more out of hand, she never ever learned her lesson. I felt that all she cared about was to be popular, thats why she actually made this problem even bigger by telling other ppl who don't even know us. I thought that she wanted to gain sympathy by letting others know that she's the 'victim'. But then i thought, if i was in her situation, i would definitely seek help from anyone cos I'm all alone. However, I would definitely not make it known on any social media platform. I believe that I have to solve MY OWN PROBLEMS, i would get other people's opinions but I wouldn't let them influence what I truly want to say. I'm a bytch for comparing aren't I? So anyways, I told her today that i wanted to end this 'friendship' cos I really couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't bear to see my 'friend' do all of this anymore...
So I'm gonna share how I've felt during this whole process. In my entire life, I never wanted to give up on anybody cos if I were them, I wouldn't want people to give up on me either. So when I thought about losing a friend, I just couldn't imagine that scenario. I remembered when she texted me to so called 'apologise' so I texted her my honest thoughts on everything, while i was typing, i actually cried... cos i was imagining how things could be like this. til my other friends told me that she just retyped the message she texted them to me. Her reply... just.. made me really sad.. cos all she cared about was that I was giving up on out 'friendship'. I know that sounds weird but the prob is, she dragged alot of ppl into this problem already and after that, she wants me to just forget everything she's done and just continue to be friends. Its like she says she would change but her actions contradict her. So she wants me to give her another chance but she doesn't know how many chances I've given her also. I mean i just feel like I cant accept the way she is now... She tells me many things, she tells me that cos of this problem, she feels very hurt and she even feels suicidal. But I told her this, "If you've felt that way, then I would have been alrdy dead." I guess she wants me to forgive her by gaining sympathy? But I wonder if she knows? That to be honest, almost every single time she texted me, I actually cried, and i dun even know why? Tears just fell... and more and more just started to fall. May,who said she felt like that, could go out and make other friends and hang out tgt while I, who was at home crying or went to schl thinking about this problem all the time and even asking other ppl what I should do. They all told me to not get involved with her and they asked why would I still be her friend after she made me feel like that. I didn't have a clue either, all I was thinking about at that point of time was that I was hoping and praying that the May I know would come back... Idk how hard it was for her but I can say that she wasn't the only suffering all this time.
So the reason why I finally decided to rly give up is cos I started to think about what she rly did for me? I realised that I've never asked her to rly lie for me or anything very big that would cause a commotion but apparently, she did that to me. But I was always clinging onto her as she also claims that she was trying to salvage things. (ofc she doesn't know that either) She probably doesn't know what I've done for her during this period of time but I think that should remain as a secret. I admit that I cared alot about her even though I told her many straightforward bad things she's done. Its ironic though... how much i worried about how she was doing but I still told her off harshly. I must have been a real bytch to her at that time. I wouldn't blame her entirely cos I guess its also my fault. I wasn't able to stop her from doing all these bad things. I actually always blame myself for not telling her from the start what she did wrong. I should have put it in a harsh way from the start so she would listen but sadly... it was too late when i realised. But I guess everything doesn't matter anymore now, right? But there is one thing that I really want to say though, the real reason why I decided to unfriend May was not only because of the fact that I felt that she only wanted to hang out with popular ppl which I felt that she didn't need me to be in her life cos I'm not popular. its also because that, I'm probably not anyone significant in her life anymore, so whatever I say, she wouldn't listen anyways and if I'm still part of her life, it would just be an extra problem for her so I should just leave cleanly and let her do whatever she wants... She's better off without me being a burden to her popularity.
I guess thats all I want to say, this is definitely one hard night for me but I guess its also a test. To see who are my true friends and who are my fake friends. Many ppl told me that in life, there would definitely be those few friends that will become strangers and sadly... May had to be the first. I never wanted this to happen and I never expected this to happen either. It was just too much to handle, I'd rather take the blame for everything, have everyone see me as the 'bad guy'. She can have all the sympathy and friends she wants, as long as she's happy without me, then... i guess it'll be alright.
Life goes on not knowing what the future has prepared for us.
I shall end this off with just sharing with you what i feel is best in both perspectives. Now if you were May and you had a friend telling you everything you don't want to hear. Well, FACE REALITY and just listen, even if it makes you cry. Don't just listen blindly but listen with your heart, cos these harsh words can actually help you big time. Stop whatever your friends think your doing wrong and start changing SLOWLY not entirely. But this is the risk, i know that its definitely not easy to do that. Well then, you have to be prepare, prepared to lose those friends. Cos if you don't want to change then you have to find people who accept you for the things you do. You have to sadly lose those friends. Its not gonna be easy but all i can say is, be honest with what you want to say, don't just know like "Oh I did wrong, so i'm just gonna apologise and hope they give me a chance and forget everything." Don't think like that cos for all you've known, they could have been putting up with you for a very long time. Don't just say empty words, you have to prove it. But if you can't, you have to be prepared to lose those friends cos you can't turn back anymore...
Now if you were me. You had May as a friend for so long and you cant imagine not having her as a friend but on the other hand, you really can't stand her new attitude towards things. I suggest that you should not wait and be nice to her and keep giving her chances. Before anything gets worse, you need to straightforwardly and harshly tell her about what she's been doing that disappoints you. This will definitely be hard cos you would be afraid to hurt your friend's feelings. But what I realised is that true friends will always tell you the truth no matter if its a bad or good thing or how harsh it can be. ALWAYS BE HONEST ESPECIALLY ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS TOWARDS WHAT SHE'S DOING! If not you would really regret one day. I really hope that your friend will understand you and your intentions and not misunderstand you.
No matter in which perspective we're looking at. I cant tell you that its not going to be easy. But life is never easy, the best things come after the hardest times. So GOOD LUCK to any friendship problems your facing, I hope you overcome them to become even closer and more understanding friends. I definitely hope you won't end up like me and May.
Bye! Thanks for reading my story til the very end.
