I was a part of an online group who became really close. Then we started meeting every summer. We all get along good, but my best friend was a part of the group too and she and I had a fight. I had a nervous breakdown. My social anxiety had been growing for some time but this was the straw that broke the camels back. I didn't speak to any of them for months, and just finally saw my best friend for the first time in ages about a month ago. This summer will mark the 2 year mark since the incident.
I just saw a post on Facebook about the get together this summer and I was tagged in the post. I haven't been participating in the online group or in regular contact with anyone (although they have invited me back before and I have talked to some of them individually on facebook.) Truth is, I don't think I could possibly handle it. I don't know. And there is one girl (my best friend's sister, also in the group) that unfriended me on facebook letting me know that she wasn't going to carry on a sham of a friendship with me (because I wasn't able to talk to anyone.) I am dead set against ever talking to her again because she made so many assumptions and really went out of her way to hurt me when I was down. (I may be a snob but I hold people to high standards.)
Not sure what to do. Do I respond to the tag with a like, or message the girl and say maybe? Do I tell her what I have been going through, or do I ignore it? I guess I don't know what to say. Is hiding the rest of my life really what I should do even if it is easiest? I am frustrated, but terrified. If I have let it go this long, will I ever recover?
