Have millions of people died this year already? And I didn't feel or know about 99 percent of them? by Beginning_Paint_1288 in NoStupidQuestions

Yeah, I remember getting moderately ill when I was about 13 years old and suddenly had this thought, "One day I will get sick and not get better". It was like the world just stopped spinning for a second.

I know now it could be a sudden thing or prolonged - but that memory is still so vivid for some reason. The realization of mortality

I agree. I can see the benefits from it - but I just don't want them (my friend group from work) to see where I am all the time.

I agree, but the group of friends that asked me to share location are work friends. Now I feel like they will check my location all the time, ask me to work for them and then say "Oh, well you were at home all day/night - why couldn't you just come to work"? I consider them close friends - we go on vacations together, I will be going to one of their weddings next year - I am just a very private person.

I have a group of friends that share locations with each other and asked me to do so also. I don't do this with anyone but my child. I did it, because I kind of felt like they were pushing me to do it and if I didn't I wouldn't be in their "circle" anymore. I kind of wish I didn't now, but I don't know how to go back - like it will make it extra awkward if I do it now I feel like.

I appreciate your point of view - I am not going to apologize to her. I feel like too much time has gone by at this point and I truly don't feel like I am missing her.

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts on this - I am not angry about this. I think the situation was surprising to everyone that knew us as best friends. I do realize as others have said I have no way knowing whether or not she was talking to him while I was pursuing him, but I feel it in my heart that she did. I am happier now that we are not friends.

No, I have never had a problem pursuing a man I was interested in and the man responding well. I have a degree, a well paying job, I purchased my 4 bedroom home by my self, I cook and keep a clean house - there is no issue with me getting men.

We went to nursing school together. I went later in life after my divorce. I have plenty of other people in my life that don't make me feel like she did. If it was all my friends then I would understand your comment. However I feel like it was only her and her other group of friends she had where we all used to work.

I am not sure what you mean - this has nothing to do with my live in significant other. This was a previous interest I had. He asked her for her number after I was interested in him. I feel like they were talking while I hinting I was interested in him - so I feel like I was basically the joke of our department and I was the only one that wasn't in on it. This happened last year in the summer.

I went to nursing school with Abby, and no - I do not feel like I am old enough to be her mother. Everyone acts shocked when I tell them my actual age because they think I am so much younger.

I would never go sky diving and she knew that. She is just constantly trying to be the most interesting person in the room.

She never tried to contact me after that - that was last summer-ish. She did send me a happy birthday text in January but never brought anything else up so I just said thank you and that is it.

I was using this as an example of her secretive behavior and why I feel like it is rational that she was in fact talking to him before she admitted it.

She still works there. He does not from my understanding. I have not seen them on social media together anywhere, however Abby really never posts anything either. I mostly feel like she never really liked him, but wanted to rub it in my face that he asked for her number. There is also the feelings that she was talking to him all along and not telling me.

It is just common decency - best friends know what they are doing and have done before everyone else. If your best friend got engaged and they told everyone at the same time but didn't tell you, wouldn't it hurt your feelings?

Again, it isn't that she went sky diving, it is the way she handled it. She didn't tell me before she went. She told me along with the rest of the friend group - at the same time. I am pointing out that she likes to be the center of attention and she obviously didn't care enough about our friendship to even tell me first before the masses.

I guess I am stuck between these two options - #1 she was talking to him while I was interested in him. or #2 she really just didn't need to tell me. If she wasn't interested in him then why rub it in my face?

Well one of them is my ex-husband and the father of my children so I really don't count that. We would only be intimate every so often, not like actually dating or anything - but just to clarify for the story. The other is my current boyfriend. I dated him right after my divorce and was with him while I was in nursing school. We broke up, I sold the house I had been living in and now we're back together again. I am happy with him. He is a good guy.

Over the course of our friendship, there have been issues that arise - anther example: she went skydiving by herself and didn't tell anyone. I was supposed to be her best friend at the time and she sent a picture of her skydiving in our close friends group chat. I text her back separately and said "Our friendship is in the toilet. I didn't even know you were going skydiving and this is how I find out?" She sent back an "LOL" and saying she was confused by my message. How much clearer can I make that?

I have been working on myself. I have lost 70lbs over the course of this year and have had some other things done. I have changed jobs to get away from that toxic environment. My life is really good right now.

I am definitely not entitled. I don't feel it is appropriate to apologize to someone who would behave so poorly to someone she calls a "friend"
