i dont know what happened, but it seems within the last 12 months i have seemed to make a lot of my friends mad/dislike me. and this makes me very uncomfortable. i would say, well it cant be me, it must be them. but that doesnt really work when most of your close friends start to hate you during a short span of time.
lets think of the friends involved, in order of them hating on me (example: number 1 will be the first one of my friends to show any kind of “hailey you suck” attitude.) and if for some reason you read this, i am not counting you, because, well i just dont think it applies yet, you never know though, when you might wake up one morning and think “wow hailey really sucked last week, im not sure about her.” hope it never happens
1. jessie- about 3 summers ago, we got in a huge fight, which she started because she wanted to tell me to move on, that i was being a lamo. i cried a lot and called you from skype. i will never forget that, and i dont think i ever forgave her for doing that to me, nor did she try to say she was sorry.
2. sarah- was really angry at me because i wasnt hanging out like i used to. this started right after winter break (sarah and i had a great winter break together, hung out a lot, went on a lot of fun adventures and ate a lot of lunches) this “hailey sucks” attitude lasted, well its still going on.
3. amber- she was mad at me for the same reason sarah was. it was just that simple. i dont think amber and i will ever be friends again.
does katie page count- no. i have decided she does not count
what about eric- nope doesnt count either- hes a guy, whatever.
4. jenna- i think she hates me right now. not sure though because seriously, if jenna ever has a problem with you, you would never know it. i do know that i think she was mad at me a lot on our trip. i could be paranoid on this friendship case, but im pretty sure shes part of this club.
ok i could be missing somebody here. hmmmm what other friends thinks i suck?
so now that we narrowed down the people and the situation. lets think of some possible ways i have been a horrible friend, making me unlikable
( im going to start in order)
1. I was busy with school work and made that my first priority.
2. I was lonely.
3. I stopped wanting to go out in big groups of girls.
4. i stopped wanting to hang out with big groups of girls.
5. I hung out with jenna a lot, and spent the night at her place a lot.
6. I talked to casey on aim a lot, and would have rather done that then go out.
7. I had class almost everyday, and seriously did homework after class for hours.
8. I felt like the sarah, amber and katie page talked a lot of shit about me behind my back. I was not part of this gossip.
9. I stopped calling amber and sarah
10. they stopped calling me.
11. I was pretty angry towards them for not understanding me.
12. I felt like everybody hated me, except the new people i met.
13. I felt betrayed.
14. I felt judged.
15. I got really angry with jessie over sensitive issues, pretty much how she tells me i suck to my face, when she is wrong, dead wrong and just plain mean. shes my best friend and make me feel like crap a lot.
16. I have not been calling her, or asking her to hang out.
17. I think this made her angry.
18. I think im starting to figure out a pattern.
19. jenna, I havent really been wanting to hang out with her either, because honestly she was kind of depressing on the chile trip. and i dont know, not that fun.
maybe i am starting to become a horrible friend.
* idea 1= my friends judge the shit out of me, I can sense it, they talk behind my back about it, others say it to my face.
what do the judge?= me having any kind of boy relationship. i swear they just want me to be single and not to love anybody. how i spend my free time. where i work. who i hang out with.
—-ok so then i get really mad, like really mad, inside, I dont really act out. and then i stop calling them, because every-time i hang out with them, i can feel the anger, i can see them judge me. I can feel them wanting to be sitting next to a girl they used to know 6 years ago, awkward, loveless, insecure, and easily persuaded, liked to do whatever.
—- i stopped hanging out with Amber, Sarah, Jessie/Alicia and maybe Jenna because I am kind of mad at all of them.
Right now…. as i am writing this, I know they talk shit about me. I know they are talking about how they cant believe i am hanging out with casey, since with have broken up more than once and they think i should move on. this makes me angry. fuck that. why cant they just be supportive of the things that I love and make me happy.
like….. being by myself sometimes, not having to be at some bar/party, getting drunk and acting dumb, its fun, but dumb and i usually pay heavily for it the next morning.
it think they hate me for not being a slut.
I think they hate me because I am taking care of myself and dont always want their input on every aspect of my life.
i think i am becoming different from them. i hate it. I really wish I could be that girl that gets drunk most nights, works a little, and is single and loving it. loves to gossip about everyone, everyday. I am not that girl anymore. and there are various reasons for this, do i need to explain them to them? Im i wrong in that i like hanging out by myself instead of getting wasted. am i wrong that I like having a best friend that I love everyday, instead of talking to dushbag guys that could care less about me. am I wrong for taking time out for me, not them. am I wrong that i enjoy going to school when i am alert and attentive, not hungover.
seriously, wtf- how come nobody else is catching on to this. every single one of my friends know that they can call me up at anytime to chat, or talk to me about their day. they know that i party enough.
i swear i cant win, i am friend cursed. my friends want me to be a slut, that entertains them on a daily basis while talking shit about everybody else, and their moms. my friends want me to agree with everything they say about everything. i cant do it anymore guys.
I want to be confident.
I want to be more sober.
I want to spend more time on designing and not partying.
I am ok with not know what is best for me. I am not ok with other people telling me all the time.
I want to make my own decisions.
I want to love one guy.
I want to be fit and alert.
I want to be happy.
I want to laugh a lot.
I want other people to feel comfortable around me.
I want to feel comfortable.
I just want to love and be loved.
For me, not who people want me to be.
I kind of want to say to everybody- hey this is me, i am not going to change anytime soon. I know i have my fair share of problems and insecurities, but hey so do u. I want to yell to all of them, stop judging me because i am happy and i like who i am. I want to tell everyone of them, If i love somebody enough to trust them completely then you should trust me that i can trust them. If i am in love, whatever the circumstance, please be supportive of me because i am going to do what i want, so it would be a waste of time if you were not. I have lots of best friends (well used to) so deal with it. I need time to myself, I thrive off my hailey time, it allows me to think, and clear my head. i am ok not knowing what is in store for me in the future, I dont want to analyze my life, I like the surprises. and then I would say, there is a reason we are best friends, because I think you one of my favorite people i have ever met in my life and are very special to me. no matter what you do, i am always here for you.
