FRIENDSHIP
I Should most likely feel bad…but I do not

I have always felt dumb around them. They would always cry when they got a 96. I was never like they. They wanted to be Doctors, Lawyers, Scientists, Engineers. I want to be a Bridal Designer. We are all Swim Teammates .They would always talked about SATs and AP classes. I would always avoid that. Every party I go to, I didn’t feel comfortable because of how small they are. I will be crazy for saying this but I feel comfortable at Wild Parties. Like ones when you think of High School Party. So when I threw a party, which was smaller than expected. I yelled at them. And they were mad at me for doing so. Long Story Shot, now all of them hate me. I deserve because of how rude I was. My “best friend” was always controlling me, changing the date, demanding activities to happen that weren’t set up. I was just frustrated and yelled at her. But I am kinda glad, we are no longer friends…

You are not the same person as your friends so you don't have to have the same goals and wishes in life. They can be whatever they want and you can choose to be whatever you want and nothing is wrong with any of the careers you are thinking about. You also don't have to have the same likes and dislikes as them. You can be friends with people that are different than you. You sound like you may have got frustrated with something about your friends and had a blow up. If you are sorry about that you can apologize to them if you want and then moving forward try to find better ways of venting that frustration to them instead of yelling at them. Maybe try talking to them about the controlling behaviors they are displaying that are bothering you. If you are happier not being friends anymore that is ok too. If you wanted to talk about this further you can chat or call us.

I've had the same thing. Try to change the conversation or even find something YOU feel good at. Don't focus at what their good at focus on you.

Honestly, I get where you're coming from! It’s super tough when you feel out of place with your friends, especially when they’re all about academics and you have different dreams. Wanting to be a Bridal Designer is just as valid as their goals, so don’t let anyone make you feel dumb for that!

It sounds like that party situation really stressed you out, and it’s understandable to snap when you’re feeling overwhelmed. But hey, it’s good that you recognize that yelling wasn’t the best way to handle it. Sometimes, friendships just don’t work out, and that’s okay! It sounds like your “best friend” was controlling, and it’s totally fine to feel relieved about moving on from that. Just remember that it’s all a part of figuring out who you are and who you want to surround yourself with. You’ll find friends who vibe with you and appreciate you for who you are! Keep your head up! 💖
