So what do I talk about today? Well, I guess I'll talk about the FRIENDSHIP FORGETFULNESS (cue dramatic music here). Friendship forgetfulness is a very hard thing that almost all forever friends go through. It's when one party, or both parties, of the friendship becomes so comfortable that he/she/they forget that the other party has feelings. Instead of being a friend, they be a flaw-searcher and criticize you for everything they know you hate about yourself.
This is a superbly common thing, although most instances aren't that bad. However, if this is happening to you, you can't let it continue. Sure, it's fun once or twice and taken as a joke. But after about a week of this nagging and critiquing, you just are so annoyed and so down that you could scream. (Side note: October 12th is International Moment of Frustration Scream Day.)
It's going on in my life, actually, and with one of my closest friends from these parts who I hold very dear. The funny thing is that he really feels bad about it, because he can definitely tell it affects me negatively, but it still continues. It's definitely toning down though, because once your friend hits that peak of dismissal, they start to recover. I honestly shouldn't have let it continue, but it did. And I feel dumb. But, in the end, he's definitely still a great person and friend, and we should never stop being forgivers.
The Best Way To Kill The Friend Forgetfulness is to be a Friend Forgiver.
Take Care Y'all, and Be A Friend,
Karly :)
