Why is it that some people only want to be friends when it is convenient for them? Or why do they make everything a competition? I have a friend. She makes everything a competition. Her cell phone is better, Her kids are better, Her house is better, Her car is better. She knows everything about everything even when she doesn't know nothing about nothing. She has made me feel bad about myself and she is the person that Toby Keith is talking about in his song. "I wanna talk about me." Everything is about her even when the conversation is not about her. She has been there done that and has done it better than anyone else. But yet she can't have a life outside her husband and kids. The last time she did this I said "Well you may have a house a new car, and newest phone but I am not in debt up to my eyeballs, I have a cheap (free) cell phone, My car is paid off it runs good so I don't need car payments, and yes maybe I rent but I don't have a house payment that I can't afford. I have a hamburger budget and live within that budget" I have deceided that I will avoid this friendship because little does she know or understand that I don't like competeing with a friendship.
I have realized that most if not all my friends are married and have children and I accept that . But you can't talk for 5 minutes. I have a friend that doesn't ever answer the phone or return any calls. All I want to know is how it is going? I know some people don't like to air there laundry and don't want to burden others with their problems but I care and would like to help if possible even if it is just listening to them vent. I miss my friends, and want to be friends no matter what kind of weather it is. Okay enough venting.
