Still, her friend doesn’t understand that these troubles specifically affect her and not her friend.
“Instead, my friend sees my health problems as ‘woe is me, my friend is ill, how typical that my friend gets ill, my life is terrible,'” she revealed.
Just a couple of months ago, for example, she was on the verge of dying in her hospital bed when her friend gave her a call. A nurse wound up answering the phone and placing it next to her head.
But, rather than checking on her, her friend actually just reminded her that it was their birthday and hinted that she needed to congratulate them!
Now, she realizes that she might be thinking about her friend a bit harshly. Nonetheless, she is just sick and tired of her friend’s attitude.
“I really don’t want to be that person who thinks that their problems are so much more valid than anyone else’s,” she said.
“I know she’s struggling, and I’m trying to help. But I just don’t know how to deal with it. It’s infuriating.”
According to her, she isn’t the only person who has a problem with her friend’s attitude, either. In fact, the mental health emergency line in her county has actually told her friend on multiple occasions to stop calling!
Apparently, her friend kept calling and describing situations that the organization claimed did not constitute any kind of crisis.
But then, just like with any situation, her friend simply goes running back to her to complain.
“My friend just does not have the capability to reflect and think, ‘Hold on, maybe this is just a minor inconvenience that doesn’t require a huge meltdown,'” she vented.
