"I have no time for emotional baggage."
Now, do I sound like a man?
But seriously, my friend is turning 30 and she's handling friendship like a 12 year old. You know, those days where you would go,"Don't friend you anymore!" just over a small matter. I am fed up, I have had enough of her extreme mood swings. I couldn't help but sent her a text telling her I don't have any time for her mood swings anymore, can she just be direct when she wants to say something instead of presuming someone can read her mind? (Sorry, no offence to the Japanese) Did she learn that from the Japanese?? Being polite, and subtle and hoping everyone else can read her "Yes" as a "No" or a "No" as really a "No"??
I am not a block of wood and I know when someone is upset. In the recent years, she's been getting more and more overboard. She always wants friends to be there for her, she always assume I'd be available at her schedule and I always did try most of the time. Whenever I ask her if she wants to hang out, her unenthusiastic answers will be "See how", "Not free" or "Not available" without even proposing another date. At other times, she can totally ignore your sms. She gets emotional over the smallest things all the time! There was a period of time, she openly showed her "emo" side on her Facebook statuses, but it got to a point I really was speechless to her negativity. And guess what? She was even jealous I commented more on others' statuses than hers, and she wasn't happy that other people know my life better than her (because she's not a regular Facebook user). Jesus, can anyone get more childish than that? I know she was also upset when I started going out with another old classmate of mine, but it was nothing compared to the friendship we built over the years. (Hello, I have a social life?!) I am starting to feel like she's acting like "my husband" and I have to report to her or ensure I do things to keep her happy?! When I asked her to join our mutual friends' outing, she would give all sort of excuses like "I'm not as sociable as you." I think that was meant as a sarcastic remark but I never even took it that way. I can't believe she uses such small things to measure our friendship, and if she wants to give it up over these petty stuff, I really have no issue with it.
It's her birthday next week but...
"Dear friend, I can only say Happy Birthday virtually if you persist with your annoyingly unreasonable behaviour!"
