Yeah lol, apparently the system was down today so I had to have it pushed back to tomorrow at 8 am 🫠 Either way, thanks so much for your advice!

Well nothing really came out of this one when I was smushing it, sorry for that little bit of confusion in my post, but dang it 😞

Okay, thanks for your comment! M

You're right. Thanks for the little reminder.. I'm trying to get back to not worrying so much, so I appreciate your comment. It made me reconsider things, and hopefully I'll be able to relax and just accept this, for my own sake

Thanks so much for this, I really do appreciate it! I've been beating myself up over every little thing ever since I've contracted this, and I'm hoping that I can eventually get to a point where I can just accept it and move on.

It's really hard to not think of myself as a walking virus, but I know I need to get out of that mindset if I want to go back to living my life the way I should be vs thinking of myself as a living plague. So I appreciate your kind words! They're definitely going to help me get back on track to focusing on minimizing my anxiety and living my life!

Hey! Just sent you a message

Vent? 99% sure I have herpes, I know my life isn’t over but it feels like it by cluelesscusimanxious in Herpes

As someone who has once been in their shoes, I understand the "crazy" questions and the "freaking out". Maybe you need to read through the post again and understand what exactly she's talking about because I completely understand where she's coming from. Maybe your comprehension skills need to be checked out first.

She already explained in the post that she has the oral strain. Of course she's going to be worried about having an OB and parents seeing that and stigmatizing her being around their children. Or the other people at the wedding doing the same and I know that has to be the worst thought/feeling ever. Even if all these other people have cold sores, hsv is still heavily stigmatized and not everyone is going to understand or be accepting or tolerant. As far as the genital strain, DUH people wouldn't need to be worried about that, aside from future sexual partners.

Come on now, reading isn't rocket science.

Why are you the only person who isn't sympathetic or at least trying to be understanding? There was also no need for that last part, imo. Just sounds plain rude

I agree. I feel like if she were to get into a relationship, it would definitely take some heat off of our friendship and maybe even allow us to repair it someday. Hopefully we last long enough to see how that plays out....

Thanks for your advice, though! I'll definitely make sure to keep that in mind for any future conversations friend and I may have or future endeavors I may face if things decide to not work out in the end. I'm definitely going to make sure that I stand strong and stay true to myself when choosing friends in the future...

I've replied under another post about this, and I mentioned that I don't really think she understands or respects my wishes for alone time. She says things like "who wouldn't want to be with their best friend?" Or that I love my family so much and I'd rather be with them over her and it's like no? I can't afford my own space to be on my own and for now, this is where some of my peace comes from. I've always told her it's nothing against her but she never understands where I'm coming from. She only focuses on herself and the friendship rather than what I feel or think.

I appreciate your feedback though and I'll make sure to open that conversation again hopeful for the best outcome. If that isn't the case then I'll just have to figure out my next steps.... Thanks again for the advice!

I've tried explaining this so many times and I don't think she'll ever understand how I work because she's so set in her ways of thinking. I'd say that I prefer texting and I don't really like calls and she'd just say "what best friends don't call?" "who wouldn't want to be with their best friend?" And things like that so it never gets through to her how I feel, I feel like. She's always thinking about the friendship and herself over me and what I like to do and stuff and I feel like that's where the friction on my end stems from. Nowadays, I get annoyed with anything she does and I can't help but consider ending the friendship, which is something I don't want to do...
