Strange encounter.
So tonight I went to the grocery store fast after work. I ran into a friend that I haven't seen since Hunter was born. We tried to connect a few times but I had a baby and her little girl is sick a lot, so we never got together. I didn't give it much thought at all.
Then I saw her today. Tried to talk to her and she gave me one word answers and got the hell away from us as soon as she could. When we got home I saw she had defriended me on FB - along with DH and all the friends that I introduced her to. Including MIL.
I have NO CLUE what I could have done to pissss this girl off. No clue! And we were definitely FB friends on Saturday b/c I remember her post about the Hawaii tsunami that never came to fruition.
She is what I would define as a sort of toxic friend at times. She is hard to deal with and I have definitely cut back on how much I hang out with her for that reason (and because of Hunter + Work + Life In General). But honestly, I have put up with a LOT OF SH!T from her, so I have no clue what I could have done. At all.
Re: Strange encounter.
Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say. You stopped feeding her sesspool, so she no longer required your services.
And I have Britney singing Toxic in my head now.
Oh, that song is addicting.
We were just singing that song to H the other night...except we changed the words about how his lovey is toxic. (Its not, he's just in a toxic love/hate relationship with it...he loves when its there and screams when its not in his view at.all.times. I have no clue how a 4 month old has the cognition to be attached to a square blanket).
Anyways. I think you ladies are right. DH said basically the same thing..."Didn't you WANT to get rid of her a few thousand times?" I think it probably has to do with me not showering her with attention. Oh well. I shall survive.
Ditto this.
Hah! I pph you!
Exactly!
You don't want toxic friends in your life, though... I have one I rarely see as I can't handle being around her for too long, but I'm sure people say that about me, too...
I had a "toxic" friend try and come back a few months ago. She was actually suppose to be my MOH but dropped out the week before. She dumped me as a friend and at first I was shocked but then I realized how less stressful my life was as time went on. Being friends with her was always stressful, she was that one friend who was never completely happy 'i hate my job', 'i don't have a boyfriend', 'i'm so in debt' etc. When she called me again after almost a year, i never called her back after she left me a voicemail. I just couldn't deal with the drama that came along with her.
It sounds like you are better off!
