Disappointed in a friend
I have a good mate and I have recently found out that the friend has told some acquantaince some awful things about me saying I am a nut case and my head is a mess due to things that happened to me as a child. :confused:
I am livid what would you do if this was you? I kinda want revenge but that is not my style, I feel hurt and let down. I am a nut case mind but not cause I been messed with (which this part of my life I can't recall but it must have happened cause they said so ) :shock: that's down to being a Woozle |

:grouphug:
TBH, my approach would be to talk to the 3rd party (the person that was told) and explain that they'd get less bull**** if they went to a cattle market!! Then, just cut the guilty party out, have nothing to do with them. It's not worth the stress. |

p.s. Do you want me to repeat the process on your friend to 'learn' her like I did you!?!? :D

Re: Disappointed in a friend
It takes a long time for me to tell people about myself/life/past in any detail.. A lot of talking and building trust. Should someone abuse that trust I'd be livid.. Have a think so that you can go and talk to both, say what you want to say, and get your point across without being irate.. Taking the time to think so you can calm down (twas days for me). Hope you sort things out ok..

Re: Disappointed in a friend
confront him in front of all to show him up . See what he has to say then. Or ill get some mates and we will come up and have a word .

I am hoping the fact I never speak to this friend again will upset them. The fact what they told the 3rd party sounds complete tosh and I am mad that they would want to make me look like a fruit and nut case to get them looking good. What goes around comes around and it need have no influence by me. Sean, at this moment in time I can't ever see myself calming down. But I am sure I will in time as I am a big softy and will end up feeling sorry for my mate (ex mate). |
Re: Disappointed in a friend
Never talking to somebody again is something I wouldn't find particularly difficult. Gets your point across, if you can do it ;)

Re: Disappointed in a friend
Sorry to hear this Shell... can understand you feeling betrayed. Take a few days to calm down as has already been suggested. Then when you`re calmer approach this friend. Afterwards you will still probably never want to speak to him/her again but at least you will have let them know how disgusted you are in them x

Although I may be smiling again on Friday as I have a date with a biker mate (not an orger) who has been after me for ages. I have decided, if for the wrong reasons I don't care, to give in and see him. He is lovely and I put him off as I didnt have time for a bloke. For some unknown reason he has not given up the chase and he won ! Shell gave in to a man and I hope he can cheer me up and make me smile and forget my hassle. I shall keep ya's updated ;) |
Re: Disappointed in a friend
First off before you go cutting off friendships it's surely worth double checking we haven't just got wires crossed here. Sounds like you're going on third hand information here and perhaps it's worth giving your friend the benefit of the doubt first? I agree that true friends wouldn't do that to you, but I also know that true friends balls things up from time to time.
As a potential scenario, is it possible that third party said something like "Shell went off on one over something completely innocuous I said", and your friend said "Go easy on her, she had a rough childhood that involved nasty scenario X/Y/Z", chinese whispers develop and somehow the impression gathered is that your friend has been telling stories and spilling personal sensitive confidences. |

Shelly - if you know 100% what's been said and you didn't like it, I'd assess whether it's worth spending time trying to talk to him/her. Is what's been said something which can be brushed under the carpet and forgotten about? If it isn't then it's going to be hard to continue the relationship anyways, so might be best to call it quits.

Re: Disappointed in a friend
I'd be mad, but prob feel sad for said friend and cut them out (at least for a while).
If the most important thing in his/her life is to gossip about your personal matters, those that were intrusted to them, then they're either sad, lacking in sensitivity/compassion or simply thoughtless. Next time you see him/her. Tell them you're really disappointed in them and leave it at that. Cut them out for a while, until they have properly appologised. If not, it's their loss. |
Re: Disappointed in a friend
Nah...it wouldn't bother me too much, it's not worth wasting time thinking about. Although if it is worrying you, perhaps you should either a) ask the offending friend about it outright, or b) don't tell them anything else about you from now onwards, c) invent something really juicy and tell them and see how long it takes to get back to you...thus making it really funny!

Re: Disappointed in a friend
Thats the trouble with friends, it hurts more when one lets you down like this, Id confront them and get the truth out of em and take it from there, good luck with it :D
|
Re: Disappointed in a friend
I agree with what many have already said, confront your "friend" and give them the opportunity to give their side of the story - is it possible that the 3rd party is the one doing the stirring??
Try and be calm and see what they have to say, if you don't like it or don't believe them, that's when you make the decision whether to cut them out. Betrayal is such a horrible thing to experience and I can only say from my own personal experience that if you feel yourself missing them, just remember what they've done, it gets easier. (Being a Scorpio helps as I can hold a grudge for yeeeeeears haha) Can't make any comments on your nuttiness as I don't know you but you're not alone lol :smt026 Hugs x |

Re: Disappointed in a friend
Just read all your replies thank you for your advice. I didnt sleep much last night and I am finding it hard to work out fact from fiction in all this.
I tried to call my friend this morning and the phone was off, which made me fear something bad may have happened and that started me thinking into how much they mean to me and how I would miss them. I am a big softy and don't hold grudges and I figured life is too short. Maybe I have just calmed down, but I finally made contact and are going to meet up. I have no intentions of arguing, I just want to hear the truth even if it is bad and I won't like it. Suppose I should forgive and be the better person. I know my friend is hurting by what they have done and they have said sorry. big hugs back to you all - fankoo xx |
Re: Disappointed in a friend
I hope it works out.

Re: Disappointed in a friend
He/she'll get their comeuppance, tis a disgusting way to treat a friend and betray them like that. I personally wouldn't confront them as I'd be in danger of going completely off on one and no doubt saying something I'd regret, the silent treatment is usually a good bet. However, if you've only heard this from someone else then, as people have said, tis only fair to give them a chance. Only the one chance mind!
Hope you can start feeling better about it soon, this sort of thing is horrible to deal/cope/try and forget about #hug# |
Re: Disappointed in a friend
Well we have made up, I have listened to my mate's side and they are in bits. They are genuinly sorry and have admitted to the majority, maybe 3rd party did a bit of stirring.
Funny thing is I never shouted, never questioned the honesty and acted how I would not normally act in these situations. I used to be fiesty and firey, maybe I am calming down a bit - things will be forgotten as life is too short. I am still hurting but in time those feelings will pass. But if they ever hurt me again I will not be so nice next time LOL Hoping I can sleep tonight now and I may actually do some work tomorrow instead of day dreaming and getting angry ! Thanks all I needed to vent last night and you helped ! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |
Re: Disappointed in a friend
Hopefully a Happy ending , if they hurt you again , then HUNT THEM DOWN :D

Re: Disappointed in a friend
Nobody gets a second chance with me I`m afraid to say . I keep very good friends around me who have never said a word out of turn apart from Banter :D . The last person that crossed me ended up moving away from the area ...... I suppose it was a case of that or get dangled over a rather large cliff ........ but anyway , enough of that :D
