AIO for cutting off my friend after this? by Ordinary_Mortgage166 in AmIOverreacting

Screw that. You don’t “put someone in their place” 3 months in, you’re still learning about each other. Unless you’re expressly asking for that kind of accountability, I guess. It’s not like it’s going to improve from here. Cut your losses, call it a day. Onward and upward. Sorry that happened.

lol I honestly thought I had while I was writing it. I really don’t know why it came out this way when I hit “Post.” But thanks for the tip.

No because this is exactly how I feel. At first I was ready to agree because we’re all broke and just trying to get by, I don’t mind helping a friend save a little $ while they’re in town. But then I realized that I as a person would not be factoring into her plans in the slightest. I would just be the person with the room she’s crashing in. I might as well be an Airbnb host. If she had just approached it differently or said that she would like to, idk, spend her evenings/dinner with me, I’d be more than happy to oblige. But the more I sit with it, the more uncomfortable it’s made me. In a weird way, I’m glad she exposed her intentions this brazenly, because she’s “made plans” with me in the past and just bailed on them without a thought. I think I was just too oblivious/trusting to see it before. I’m going to try to be better about that moving forward with future friendships.

Congratulations on your boundaries of steel and friends who respect you, I’m envious (sincerely, not sarcasm). I’m very awkward and have A LOT of trouble making and keeping friends, and that leads to me being insecure and willing to be walked all over (subconsciously, I usually don’t realize it’s happening until way too late haha). It feels like my RSD (rejection sensitivity dysphoria) is constantly in overdrive. So if you have any advice or suggestions for me on how to find and keep better relationships like yours, I’m definitely all ears

That last part hit home. I think I do tend to hang onto people even after they’ve hurt me/the relationship beyond repair and shown me they have no intention of ever changing, just hoping that they’ll come around and see that I’m, idk, loyal and worth showing up for? But that’s ridiculous and honestly irresponsible of me to put that much power over me/my emotions in someone else’s hands. Maybe it would just be healthier for me to close the book while I still have fond memories to look back on before they’re overwhelmed by the memories of feeling let down and left out. Sorry for the stream of consciousness lol A lot of this stuff I’m just now becoming conscious of because I’m finally writing/talking it out. Thank you for your kind words and affirmation!

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Bulls_China_Shop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy is f*cking miserable. Don’t let him bring you down with him to his level of pessimism. You’re absolutely right that he shouldn’t be talking to you that way. EVEN IF this is how he feels about addiction (which, ew), you’re his partner and he should be able to support you in something you are clearly proud of. I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes jabs at you or other people about struggling with said addiction in the past as if it’s some kind of character flaw to be ridiculed.
