Alright.... here's my post.

I AM SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!... and hurt! My so called friends have once again left me out of the loop so to speak. This has been happening for a long time now... I can actually give you a date to within a couple months but for this rants sake, it's been years and leave it at that! I'm going to keep this intentionally vague so i'm sorry for those out there that actually read my blog. I'm not really sure there is a point to keeping it vague because the friends I'm talking about probably don't give a shit about what goes on in my life anyways. Just as long as it doesn't effect them or their plans! Well Fuck Them!! I'm tired of this shit!! I'm tired of ALWAYS having to make the effort!! I'm not even really sure how many close friends I actually have now that I think about it... aside from my wife who doesn't count (no offence meant hun but you know what I mean).... ohhhh.... a big fat goose egg comes to mind! I used to be everyone's friend!! The person everyone would go to because I could keep confidences. The person who could always make you laugh even when you were feeling like shit. I thought that's what best friends are for... WRONG!! When I hit a rough spot in my life, most of my friends bailed on me. Some stuck around and did their best to make things right... to help me through it. And for that I'm grateful. But soon afterwards, they started drifting away which you would think was logical for highschool friends and even public school friends as they grow up. But you see... they just drifted away from me... for the most part, the ties between THEM grew stronger but I was left out in the cold. Like I had some sort of fucking disease. Now and then I'd get a pity look, an invitation to a old best friends wedding, a phone call then and now... almost as a courtesy. But in a lot of ways that's worse. To find out about get togethers and how much fun they had... After the fact. Every now and then someone would slip and say "You should have been there" or "Where were you?!?". I just want to say "Next time, get your stories straight so I don't find out".

At first it didn't bother me too much and I figured if I make a greater effort, call people more, set things up more, I would be someone they would want to hang around with again and all this would go away. But it has been YEARS AND I'M FUCKING DONE WITH IT! Who needs close friends when they can so easily treat you like shit!!??! I've got one more thing to do with this lot and I'll do it like I do everything in life, to the best of my abilities. But when that's done, they can all piss off. I'm not going to be treated like that anymore by them or anyone else. No One Should.

I'm sorry :( If it helps, I requested a post because I DO care about what's going on. Many many (as in, almost all) of my friends do the same thing to me. I remember when I was at work and I was supposed to go to my brother's band practice afterwards and hang out with Bekah and some other friends. Bekah called me at work and said, "we don't really have room for you and don't want to wait until you're done work so sorry, you can't come." This was when Josh and Bekah were still dating. I had a great boss and she came over and hugged me and let me cry, then went back to work without mentioning it :) but $hit like that happens ALL the time.

All that to say, I can empathize.
