So after all of my ponderings in this thread, it dawned on me...my "friend" is so passive-aggressive that *I* feel bi-polar when dealing with her. No, we aren't going on a trip with her, I considered it, but since I *never* know how quickly my friends mood will change from amicable to aggressive, we decided to pass. In face, the best course of action, IMO, is to start distancing ourselves.
Ah Mizzoumoummu - I tried to post yesterday, but my phone sometimes acts weird and just 'eats' my tiny words! I'm glad to hear that you are NOT taking that vaction, and that you are taking steps to 'branch out' your social circles. I always wish for that 'one best friend' who is perfectly compatable, but IRL, it's really hard to find that 'one special friend.' Some years of my life I have it and some years of my life I don't. I've even had one die on me! Talk about horrible! The characters in books seem to have no trouble with this, but here in real life, finding and keeping a special friend is a bumpy road. Now I try to take that 'friends for a reason and friends for a season' approach, and be grateful for the good parts and distance the rest.
((hugs))
