My friend contacted me again after months

[anon80629714]

I have been avoiding to talk to her. She contacted me in the end. Said she hasn’t been contacting me since she thought I was saving money so she thought i wouldn’t like to go on holiday. She wanted to invite me to the movies as well, and said if she knew i had a cinema pass she’d drag me to the movies everytime for the last few months. But I told her I don’t like going movies these days, and enjoy going theatre and have been going loads of times on my own. I said i will invite her she can come.

It just got frustrating that i ended up going everywhere she invited me to including movies i didn’t want to see, she practically pestered me to go to some of them, - my fault for going, whenever i said to go somewhere where i wanted to go she didn’t want to go.

So i am going to invite her theatre whether she likes it or not. She can join me if she wants. But she doesn’t have to. I will do the things i enjoy doing and i will pass on the things i don’t with her. I just need to learn to say no.

It sounds like you are in a healthier mindset now than you were before. I think that, as long as you include activities that YOU want to do, you’ll be just fine. Good luck!

I do feel a bit more able to handle this now I’ve had a little more time to think. I’m not saying i don’t enjoy her company it’s great when I’m doing things I also want to do but she needs to back off when I say no to things. I think she’s doing it now I explained why I couldn’t eat out on Wednesday and she didn’t try persuading me. I’m trying to eat healthy… Also said no to Tuesday she didn’t moan about it.
