Friends to so called friends to fucks

So over the last 6 or 7 years I’ve had these “friends”. They were good at first, we’d do trips and were all working together and we just al generally got on.

Now it’s important to note that throughout this whole friendship scenario I have felt like a second choice. I was the last to be asked in most circumstances, I’d find out late about trips, wouldn’t be invited round for dinner or hanging out as often and my ideas and contributions were almost always never enough or completely ignored. I might not have known as much as others and so was ignored instead of educated.

We eventually started drifting apart, the group disbanded slightly due to job changes and life events. We’d go on trips every 1-3 months , then once every 6 months and so on.

Fast forward to the present day we had planned a trip in the beginning of the year. Now this was my idea and I wanted to go with one other person + family. Suddenly 3 family’s were invited and completely steamrolled my whole idea. They hadn’t been to this destination before and I had. I knew what would work, costs and effective travelling but no. They all had to butt in and ignored all my ideas. I went with it stupidly

I am no longer able to go on that trip now and have already paid 50%. They are refusing to pay it back now as it’s unfair apparently. They were the ones that made the stupid decision to increase costs and now I have to suffer.

At first I was pissed. But I’ve learned over the years to say nothing in anger and just simmer down until I’m calm and my clear thoughts have prevailed. I can 100% finally say that without a doubt in the world I know where I stand with them now. My only regret? Wasting so much time and effort on them in the first place. Yes I’ve lost some money but if it’s that’s the cost to be happy? I would’ve paid it long ago.

I was always the people pleaser. I would go on everything when everyone said no to couldn’t go even if I didn’t want to. But that al changed now.

Messages are deleted, phone numbers are deleted and I will never have to see them again and I am finally free.

And I know they will never read this so I get to clear my slate and start fresh. Let’s see what happens this time.

And on the small minuscule chance that they do? I hope you stand on Lego for the rest of your life, your petrol is always empty, your alarms don’t go off and you’re always late, and just have a sucky life in general. I will always be the loyal friend and I can clearly do better than all of you and wish you the best in whatever pathetic example of a life you lead.

Good riddance to bad garbage.

The.
End.
