I (21F) am dreading my friend’s (21F) wedding because…I don’t know?
I am attending my friend’s wedding early next month and for some reason, I absolutely dread it. I don’t really know anybody, and she invited me as basically one of her only friends. I’m pretty sure her bridesmaids will only consist of her family and her best friend.
One of the reasons I’m really dreading it is because she comes from a very sheltered community and I just feel like the whole thing is gonna be really awkward. She and fiancé were encouraged to marry young because it’s basically expected of her…kinda the same stuff you’d hear from that type of people. That already makes me uncomfortable.
The other thing too is that I feel like recently, she hasn’t treated our friendship very well. She’s kind of acted like I’m more of a supporting character than her actual friend. She’s even outwardly prioritized her friend over me when we are together (ie: more sympathy/ empathy for her as opposed to something else I’ve said during a conversation, regardless of the context).
I also have ADHD and she treats me like I’m a quirky silly gal than an actual serious woman with an actual life and goals (almost like an exaggerated Type A vs. Type B but I’m not really a Type B person she just sees me that way).
I’m trying SO HARD to be supportive and happy for her, but I just can’t get excited. I bought her registry gift and am RSVP’d because I do care about her but man I’m just so conflicted and I don’t know why.
Also for clarification I am in a happy relationship so it’s not out of jealousy for her finance or something lol.
Why do I feel this why? How can I feel happy and get over this resentment?
