Friendship insecurity
I just need to rant because recently I’ve been feeling like a close friend of mine really could not care less about me.
Now that we live in different cities I feel like I have started to express my appreciation for her more and genuinely celebrate her accomplishments.
The most recent incident was our college graduations. I drove 4+ hrs to drive her to her ceremony early and gave her a gift basket with things I knew she loved at her grad party.
However, when it came to my graduation she tried to come up with a bs excuse so she could travel with her new bf, showed up late, missed my grad party and made up empty promises about a gift.
I just feel hurt by it all. I am of course very happy she could make my ceremony, but I feel like I had to nag her to care about me. It’s not really about the gift or party, I just wish she wanted to show up for me like I did for her.
I think part of it was the new bf too. It was my first time meeting him (at my graduation) and he didn’t leave the best impression.
