All good things must come to an end I suppose, but I
never considered something like friendship was included. That's
right, someone who was once a good friend for maybe a year and a
half, whom I talked to all the time, whom I spent $99 to go visit, and
whom I wished to date at one point, has made it clear to me that she
wishes to never talk to me again because of a problem she has with
me. It's nothing I did; she simply gets annoyed when talking to me
and admitted that it wasn't me but she who has the problem. I don't
suppose I'll ever talk to her again, nor will she continue to read
this diary, like she has up until his point. It's a pretty sad thing,
though. It's over just like that.
I can't say that I didn't have a hand in it, because I'm the one
who started it. Back when we were close, I tried to help her out,
though she didn't ask for it. So what? If your friend is sad, you
try to cheer them up, even if they don't ask you to, which they
probably won't. I tried to be a better friend by listening to her
troubles and being there for her, and cheering her up. I wanted to
help so much, and when some of the things I did didn't help like I
thought they would, I sought more exprienced advice. Just like any
kind of solution, you must give enough information in the problem,
so I told them a few certain things she trusted me to keep to
myself, and ultimately ended up not getting a solution, and enraging
her when she found out. That wasn't very smart on my part, I admit
that, but she forgave me, and we remained close friends. Then I got
this "brilliant" idea to help her out with her ex-boyfriend who has
been giving her so much trouble, mixed with her missing him, and I
contacted him, despite her telling me not to, to let him know that
his teasing was being taken wrongly by her. Although sounding
thankful on the phone, the next day he gave her a piece of his mind
about the whole thing and then she was yelling at me for doing so.
Yeah, I can see how that was a stupid thing to do, but did I know
that then? No. Does that matter to her? No. But she forgave me
anyway, and we were still good friends. That was maybe almost a year
ago, and since then, I've done nothing stupid or wrong to her, but
she was continually annoyed with me. It grew to be what it is now
with her rudely telling me to never communicate with her again,
after we spent almost a month emailing almost every day and
discussing these past events. From when I talked to her ex to now,
it went from good friends to her wishing she didn't know me, all
because I was annoying to her. I sent her flowers for graduating, I
sent her comic books for Christmas (I sent the kind she really liked
and wished she had more of), but all of it was too much. I tried too
much and apparently it was all void of sincerity, and even now I
can't see for one second how I was giving them without being
sincere. Everything I did was because I cared for her, but that
irritated her. Sure, she wanted someone to be with, and when she told
me all the qualities, I matched up perfectly, except she said that
I'm a jerk pretending to be that way. So when I drew a picture of
her and me together and gave it to her, was that just to make her
like me? How about spending time talking to her a lot, or emailing
her, or writing her letters?
I suddenly got annoying to her because I still liked her but it
stopped being mutual feelings. After that it was first she's nice,
now she's rude, now she's nice again, now she doesn't care about
hurting my feelings... But I talked to her whenever she wanted to. I
was there for her, I stayed talking through her rude times. I wasn't
rude back. But for some reason she always got annoyed by me. I've
gone through and bore more than anyone should ever have to in a
friendship, but I always welcomed her company and was nice no matter
how bad she made me feel.
One time she pretended to be someone else online and made me feel
like dirt, and then acted like nothing happened when she talked to
me the days after. When she finally confessed, I was obviously upset
about her lying and making me feel awful on purpose just for her own
amusement, and even worse, she made fun of me about it later. I
stopped talking to her for a while and said that I couldn't be
friends with someone like that. Then she puts me down for ending the
friendship when she had forgiven me for the things I did to her,
trying to help her. She said I was the real cruel one out of us.
Little did I know that she had done that stunt for the purpose of
making me hate her and break up the friendship so that I wouldn't
"like" her anymore. The purpose was to make me end the friendship,
and she made me look mean for doing it. I cooled off, however, and
we talked again, until now. I've annoyed her too much because of her
own issues and she can't handle talking to me, so she terminated
everything between us, and it wasn't something I'd want to be my
last words to someone.
So, needless to say, my day wasn't so great. I'm glad I met her,
though, because of the good times. But she doesn't want to give any
effort toward getting back to that, so it wouldn't work, anyway. As
stupid as it may sound, there will always be a vacant spot in me for
the part of me that left with her, and there's always a chance I'll
welcome it back.
