crying in paris

[olivebee]

The people I went to Paris with are really not nice. They forget I am here, they exclude me, they complain, they constantly talk about people they hate, they said that I was really getting on their nerves. I left the room to cry and strangers asked me if I was ok, but when my "friends" saw my tear-stained face, they said nothing

I love you very much. I think you are amazing.

Try to remind yourself that everyone around you is merely background noise which you have successfully drowned out in the past. Try to make the most of the moment by stepping away from everyone as often as you can. Moments by yourself cannot be ruined by others.

smile, you are beautiful.

I admire you and Alex and Laura so much for doing these things on your own! The situation you're in right now is far from ideal, but just keep reminding yourself where you are. Get away from the group like Michelle said, maybe try to find a favorite local spot and meet some real Parisians. Don't give up on the experience because the people you're with have bad attitudes and are too immature to appreciate it. Confidence!

I'm sorry that your travel companions are assholes. Maybe find a nice, pretty spot outside (parks? near the river?) or a quiet cafe, and just people-watch the locals?
