writes: I used to be friends with a girl I’ve known from high school, I'll call her "Anna". Anna seemed to be a very different but very sweet girl. We had some things in common and both needed a friend. (We were the only two single gals in our group.) Eventually we became best friends.When Anna started working at her new job, she became acquainted with her other co-workers. They loved to party and drink and so on. I didn’t care because, hey, we all can use more friends in life. However, Anna forgot all about me and started hanging out with these girls, drinking and partying (something she told me she'd never do) and ignored me. She would only call me when these girls weren’t around and cry about how one of them liked the same guy she did or how they would make fun of her. I (stupidly) listened, repeated advice over and over, and was her shoulder to cry on. I have done so much for her- I rushed over and brought her flowers when her cat died, I was there for her whenever she was down and took her verbal lashings when we would meet up. (She always had little snippy comments/insults to say to me, but they got worse after she started hanging out with her co-workers.) I don't like being treated like ****. Why did this happen and could anyone help me figure out what to do and how to move on. We haven’t talked in months, so I doubt we're even friends anymore, but I want to leave it alone. I feel so used. Was I a bad friend? Why/how on earth would someone who was supposed to be my friend do this?
