Hi,
I have this friend who was very close to me...not so much anymore. He doesn't understand Anxiety....and sometimes gives his judgmental opinion as i get tired too easily compared to others. So i told him to keep his judgmental attitude to himself and mind his own goddam business. He is very careful now...cos he knows when he opens his mouth, i am not taking it lying down.
He invited me for his marriage yesterday...and i was like really tired from work and anxious. So i didn't go the 250 km journey and then meeting friends etc...so he calls up and starts bantering with a disrespectful voice....so i reply in a high pitch, plz don't insult people without knowing the reason for their absence and also told him i am sorry. If this friend of mine resorts to his usual arrogant ,' i don't care what you have' i am going to say good bye to him.
Is there a better way to deal with this situation? I am not sure...i was polite and was truthful. And i don't feel guilty...some people can make you guilty....i think we better be careful with such attitudes.
