Everytime I see the ex-friend who helped cause my anxiety showing off about how great her life is on FB it makes me so angry. She's so in love with herself its unreal. I should really delete her. But I'd rather just get over the anger and deal with it like an adult.
Sometimes, just sometimes, it really feels as though the bigger an idiot you are, the more arrogant you are, and the nastier you are... the more likely you are to be happy :(

Sometimes the people who feel the need to show everyone just how fantastic things are for them and how great their life is going are trying to convince themselves at least as much they're trying to convince others.

Recently I was reading a blog entry by a rather wise person who pointed out that ultimately we all have to answer to our own conscience regarding our actions and behaviour. Perhaps deep down your ex-friend realises what a nasty person she was/is but would rather not deal with that fact, preferring instead to tell herself how great she is.

(Besides, even if she is happy, would you really want to be her or anything like her? I think you're much better off being you.)

Personally i find it interesting that on what seems to be a site full of loners it still has the same unwritten rules as everywhere else. In terms of the hierarchy it operates in the same way a football forum, or a celebrity forum, or a school playground would. How much attention you get depends entirely on how popular you are, rather than what you say or your circumstances.

It's interesting that you say that, as I've always found SPW to be pretty "flat" hierarchy wise, with everyone pretty much on the same level. It's one of the things I appreciate about this place, as opposed to other forums and situations IRL.

Perhaps, but perhaps she's found people who can accept her for her, and maybe sometimes she goes a bit over the top.

I know the feeling ::(:

My life's a box of cereal and the there's no more crunch to it, and I can't find the milk to make it snap crackle and pop.

I've gone stale as well I guess. Cyas all. And flights of lemurs chirp thee to thy rest.

(I'm just going to get milk. Doubt I'll find any though).
