Among Friends

[bikerbabe]

I don’t allow myself to be walked on but I work hard at being tolerant and I’m not one to blow up at others. If I ever get crabby I hope someone calls me out on it. I’ve also really learned as a nurse not to be quick to judge someone because you never know what has happened in their life to cause them to react to a certain situation the way they do.

@bikerbabeAmen!

[this is my nic]

Ladies, we were raised to be "nice".  Any unkindness towards us was supposed to be ignored, or worse, believed that we were what was said to us or about us. Finally, after years of this we woke up!  We don't have to be nice to people who are unkind to us.  I stopped communicating with a very close cousin because of a  rude thing she said to me.  This was not the first such comment.

 We were raised almost as sisters, we're both only children.  We communicated and visited when possible;  we live over 500 miles apart.  She has not tried to reach out to me either.  I feel she never really cared for me and that's fine.  I have my own family and wonderful friends.  Surprisingly, I don't miss her!  I feel freed of a negative person!   

So, cast off the belief we must always be nice!  Ignore those who are hurtful.  

Peace.

OP should avoid this "friend" like the plague. Sounds like there is no reason to expect an apology,  so just forgive her insensitivity and lack of self-awareness and move on with your life without her. It is ultimately her loss, not OP's.
