Just in the past few days I have some health issues. Issues that have made me withdraw from family and friends. One so called friend chewed me out for not being "sisterly" and not "respectful" because I won't sit and answer my phone when she calls me. Others understand and don't give me hell for it but she does she now says that she can't trust me because I am not being a good friend, a good sister, states that Ive taken advantage of her. I don't ask for her help and am grateful when she does but when I tell her some days I need time to myself she gets mad and takes it personally and blows it out of proportion. What should I do? How do I respond to this? Should I ignore it? SHould I take her off of my Facebook? Any words of advice is welcome
You don't need negative people like that in your life. unless she offers help & you agree then otherwise its none if concern if you answer the phone or disconnect it.
She's trying to bully you into letting her help you or talk to her or make her center of attention. Instead of backing off and letting you deal with your health issues, isn't a true friend IMHO.
I hope whatever it is your going through gets better. But don't stress yourself over negative self centered people.
You don't owe her an explanation. You need time to yourself and everyone is entitled to that. A good friend would respect that and stand by you instead of making it about herself.
Personally, I would just ignore her and not respond. She is clearly just thinking about herself and is not mindful of your space or that you may be going through something. Leave well enough alone - there isn't room for people like that.
Tattoo question....
