Venting

[dixidiamond]

Lately, several of my closest friends have decided to make it a point to let me know that I am no longer an important part of their lives. I hate this because it wasn't too long ago that I drove them around because they didn't have a car, or paid for dinner because they didn't have the money...and now this. And it isn't as if it isn't obvious

Its simple. Don't do it. You can say no. If they decide that they don't want to be your friend anymore because of it, then so be it. It sounds like they're already not being a good friend anyway.

I agree that saying no is hard because I've been in that situation too, but, Dixi, you need to stand up for yourself and demand the respect you deserve. You're fabulous. Don't forget that!

I know I get busy and don't always call you back as promptly as I do. But it reassured me that you don't feel like I put you on the back burner with what you said today in your LJ! Thank you for being the awesome southern bell that you are and being a great friend for life. No matter where we go, or what we do, I always know you will be there for me. LOVE YA!

As for the people that are treating you like crap. I say just let them fade off into the dust. You can make new friends that can replace the dead weight. It's hard to do but I have done it and in the end you will feel better about it.
