AIO? I didn’t want to be around any negativity so…

👥 friendship

I unfriended someone because: 1) She has to be the center of attention, and 2) She’s always so pessimistic.

But no, it wasn’t the type where I told her. I just ignored her like she didn’t exist & I stopped hanging out with her. But it wasn’t a long time friend, it was more of because we worked together, we were around each other at the time. So, technically, I won’t consider that as a “friend,” because right after I step out of work, everyone is just a colleage (I only consider like a certain number of people from work as a friend.)

Going back to the topic: I was fine with her until I started noticing how she would always always make the it about her.

First is with how she made fun of my work dinner (mushroom, broccoli and brown rice) because she said and I quote, “If I were to eat that, I won’t ever feel full. I think too much vegetables is bad for yourself too, you know.” At the back of my head, I thought “Okay, but your stomach and my stomach are different.” Plus, I started eating less and eating clean because I have a sedentary lifestyle.

Second, in any conversation, she has to have a pessimistic input + she has to be the topic. I am all for people sharing their experiences and opinions, but with her? I never felt heard. It’s like talking to a brick wall. If she asked something regarding what I said, it felt like someone who would gossip about the newfound information.

Third, she was so pessimistic about my first out of country trip. It was only somewhere in Southeast Asia. I reached out to her (before I unfriended her) asking about stuff regarding luggages. Instead of answering me directly, she hit me with the “all about me” replies.

And lastly, she is too much to handle. In all ways, in all aspects. She thinks everyone’s worlds revolves around her when in fact, some of my shared posts or comments that she sees online are not about her. She also likes to twist stories that would fit her narrative & to have a friend like that is scary.

So I ignored her. Stopped eating with her. No explanations, no good byes. Just back to as if I did not know she existed at all.
