Giving people their space

[system]

That is what we can do. Wish we would have handled things better. Now you experienced this and have been through this so hopefully next time if a situation like this comes to face you, you will face it better.

I agree with Hula, friendships and that also with people you like and care about are more important than space. Don’t be so selfish. Don’t suddenly block people out of your life when they were there many steps of the way.

I am the kind of person who does leave a person alone if they tell me that they need space. However remember a person can say that fine i’ll leave you alone and you can contact me whenever you feel better but still you do miss them.

A friend told me this once. If no one in this world went up to the people who were down, who were feeling bad and depressed then there won’t be any cheerful people left in the world. Everyone would be down and depressed. No one would feel loved. You might think you need space but essentially deep down what you need is to feel loved. To feel that you belong. That feeling is given to you by your friends. Your friends are the ones that cheer you up and care about you, worry about you when something happens to you etc.

Excuse me for being a good friend and doing a good job and just trying to bring a smile on someone’s face.

It is never one thing that results in a friendship ending.

For me it was this person’s disregard for my space and lack of respect for my emotions and decisions that drove me up the wall. And also their lack of willingness to TALK like two adults during times of conflicts, as opposed to hurling insults.

I have learned a lot from this friendship ending; that I should have done something about this person a LOT sooner.

This one certainly wasn’t a bad person, just didn’t know how to let others be.

I am clearly not over this. It doesn’t matter how much I try to see this situation from their point of view, I am still confused about why they acted the way they did. Even though, I know what made this person the way they were.

Thankfully, I don’t hate them anymore.
