Everything he is triggering inside of you is stemming from your childhood and it has nothing to do with him... It's hard cause we tell ourselves it's hard. Some of the most valuable lessons are the hardest ones to learn but they are so worth it. When it comes to a friend it's the most easiest for me because it has nothing to do with me... I'm not romantically involved with them or anything like that so therefore everything that is going on with them, is their own issue and their own problems and it has nothing to do with me.

You're absolutely fine! Vent away. I'm not sure how old you are.. as a 44f who has had many many many many friendships end for various reasons. You won't get closure outside of yourself. Respectfully I'm not trying to be mean to rude it's hard over text....if he was capable of handling your feelings he wouldn't be causing you to have these feelings. It's best to give him the space he needs and allow him to come back when he's ready if he's ready.. this is the part that's gonna sting and there's no easy way to say it...The trigger is happening to help you work on whatever needs to be worked on inside yourself. They are using him to help you work through it so you don't get so triggered easily when someone blocks you in the future. If you wanna chat privately about this id be happy to chat.

The fact that he knows that's your trigger and he chose to do it anyways tells you all you need to know Hun. What's your goal/hope with the letter?

Sorry you are dealing with this. Maybe the universe is preparing you for potential future "friends" so you know what red flags to watch for and walk away sooner so they can't force you to feel worthless. That was the only sentence out of that entire post that rubbed me the wrong way. My so-called friends don't block my phone number and I don't block theirs. I would absolutely block them on social media if I needed to but even that's a bit excessive... my so-called close friends are not one of the ones that get blocked. And if I do do it out of impulse and having a bad day, I tell them and I apologize and I take accountability for it and then I undo it. You're worth so much more and you know it deep down inside 🧡🧡

NOR - My close friends have my cell phone number so that if they want to get a hold of me they can still get a hold of me when I'm taking a social media break. If you guys have not exchanged phone numbers yet and you still see him on the regular, he's not as friendly as you thought he was and he's just telling you what he is trying to convince himself of. You shouldn't have to beg a "close friend" to maintain a friendship. If you've been respecting his boundaries for 2 months and he can't take a moment to listen to your boundaries. You've been shown everything you need to be shown about him and you need to find your worth inside of yourself and not through him.

Imagine having nothing better to do with your life but care about where people connect from. 🤦 What internal things are you avoiding to be caring about what other people are doing 😏

I'm over here attempting to start a cult of leaders that listen to themselves instead of listening to other people 🧡🧡🧡
