Pagod nako magbuhat sa "friend" ko
Just wanna rant about our toxic friend. So we're taking the licensure exam in a few months, and until today pabigat pa rin tong "friend" ko. I don't think I can even call her a friend at this point kasi since clinical internship namin all I ever did was carry her and do most of her responsibilities assigned to us as partners, pero ending ako rin naman gumagawa.
Just a little background, our course is in the medical field. Mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially draining. This "friend" became a classmate when we were taking summer classes for a subject. We're both irregular students. She is more than 5 years older than me. She befriended me since I'm also older than our peers.
It started with her asking for notes to us becoming partners in homeworks, projects, etc. Two months in and I noticed a certain pattern na she would say "can you cover for me kasi I had work" "can you cover for me cos I'm sick" "can you cover for me since I'll be buying materials for my child's project". And yeah, ako na halos gumagawa ng clinical reports namin, power points, patient managements, and so on.
I tried distancing myself pero she always found a way na either magkapartner kami or di kaya same kami ng internship site (kung saan dalawa lang ang tao assigned per site, pero pwede ka magsolo). Pinagbigyan ko siya sa isang internship site kasi wala siyang halos kilala sa team namin pero lagi siyang nalalate tapos ang ending ako tuloy nasesermonan ng instructor namin. There was a time she had the audacity to ask if okay lang daw ba pumasok siya ng 12noon kasi nalate siyang gising (10am) pasok namin. After that internship site naghanap nalang akong ibang kapartner kasi nakakadrain yung laging ikaw napapagsabihan sa lates ng kasama mo.
Now that we're prepping for our licensure exam, she's still the same. Laging late, always asking for notes and everything na parang she expects you to give her since she thinks that's fine, that it's been that way. So I stopped providing her notes. Tatlo lang kami sa friend group namin and we've been understanding of her situation. Now that the prep time is just a few months she expects us that "we'll share our review materials with her too". She openly said this to people from other teams and even bragged she could send them "our" notes to them.
Now my friend and I are deciding na i-cut off nalang siya in our study group. Since she had been exhausting to deal with, mentally and emotionally that is.
