Fake friend or am I asking for too much?
Hey I need some advice on this last text from a so called friend.
—- Hi xxxxxx I understand you are upset and crashing out but I don't want to be the judge of your relationship, please leave me out of it —-
So for context we both met at work and bonded because we are both foreign coworkers at the office of the same age. So we deal with the same kind of paper work problems and living in a different culture from where we grew up from. I am also dealing with an addict partner and was never asking for someone to tell me to leave or stay just someone to talk about stuff and this was her answer to when i was going through a lot of emotional whiplash in one day, also with my birthday coming up next week, for which she does want to meet me to go out for dinner, and uni deadlines and exams at the same time. Am i asking for too much? For a friend to listen to me and not judge? I thought this was basic for actual meaningful friendships? Or am i too naive in believing people actually want also community? Thaanks any advice is welcome since ai am a bit overwhelmed with emotions in every direction and stress.
