A while ago I posted about feeling like there was something odd about my friend. It turns out my intuition was right. I am nothing but a place to vent for my friend. Once she’s done, she’ll find someone “more fun” to hang out with. I can’t share my struggles with her because the second I open up my feelings get invalidated. I’m told that I’m ungrateful and complain too much. I’m told that I want too much. Staying with her is draining but I have a hard time saying no everytime she wants me to hang out with her.

Sometimes you have to decide whether or not you are willing to be alone/ friendless for a while for the sake of peace and self respect. She doesn’t sound like she really cares about you unless she’s venting or just needs nearby entertainment. Friendship is supposed to be a two way street.
