Meetings, Schmeetings.
I have a hard time going to the meetings, sometimes. Even though the members say that is it not mybusiness what they think of me, when one of them utters, "sounds like a drunk to me," I have a hard time stomaching that.
It is only from one member, and I think he says it more in terms of acceptance that I DO have a problem than as a sign of judgment. Sometimes it still puts a sour taste in my mouth, though.
I am also trying not to be peeved about a friend's posts. She posted about me and the gentleman who I last embarrassed myself with the other day, and then was like "read my blog!" It was a very complimentary entry about what she likes about her friends, but I was like "ARGH!" Of all the people you know, why do you have to include me in the same entry with him? She also posted a picture up of her and him and another person together in the club. I KNOW that it is her blog and that she can do whatever the damn hell she pleases with it, but why would you include him and I in an entry and then tell me to read your blog? I realize that living here makes it damn near impossible not to be friends with people that have hurt your friends, but I guess I can dream.
She was recently irritated because another mutual acquaintance was mad that she mentioned his ex-girlfriend (in relation to herself) in front of a now current girlfriend. I laughed at his childishness (as I termed it) and here I am in the same boat myself. I realize that I am being juvenile and petty, but it was just something I have to get off my chest.
When I went to the counselor the other day she said, "Can I tell you something? It's NOT ALL ABOUT YOU."
That's something I try and remember every day.
Jane Says: I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend, I'm a little glowing friend, but really I'm not actually your friend.
