IGNORance

I don't know what to feel other than this quote said it all for me...I think to ignore someone is so mean. It shows cowardice and immaturity! If you have a problem with me why is it so hard to say it?!?! Especially if I try to call, text or email you and I never get a response?!?!? I get having a busy life and that family comes first but I also think it is used as a superb scapegoat!

"Isn't that interesting!" I say often to myself...I can't change these people and I can't try to reconcile feelings if I am never made aware...and well...I am truly shocked at such elementary behavior. I actually just giggled now...realizing that I have been and still can be childish in the ...but I've been doing a lot of growing up and owning up to my feelings...if I'm hurt, angry or mad...I've learned to voice it..it does NOBODY (yourself included) any good when you have to purposely go out of your way to be rude! Oh well...super interesting! As for me, a lesson learned to remain patient, loving and kind and usually in the end...I'm better off not dealing with them anyway right!?!?! :(

Here's a short story to illustrate my point...not too long ago when last school year was in session the children had a 3 day weekend and I told a friend we'd like to go to the library near her and asked if she'd like to join us there! Yes! Plan made...day set....day comes....and I notice the clock...30 minutes till time to be at the library and I am not even showered...so I text her telling her that I am running late...and we move the time back...I rush...and realize I am pretty close to actually being ready for our original set time and am about to call her when Lexi gets a MASSIVE bonk to her noggin and I freak...it's like her brain is about to pop out of her skull....so I call Mike...make sure Lexi's eyes dialiate and as we realize she's okay and all is well I get a text...my friend says that her son just fell asleep and she'll let me know when he wakes up! So I send her a text saying I'm going to go ahead and go...if I don't make it now we'll not get a chance to go at all! and she said "oh, okay, Enjoy"....So we go and she never comes...and then I send her a text telling her how awesome that library is and then a few weeks go by....I go to send her a message on FB and I'm no longer her friend! I am baffled...I know she's has a weird history with random DEfriending so I message her asking her what's up?!?! She tells me that I offended her by not waiting around for her like she did for me that morning....I tried putting myself in her shoes but then I realized too that she made no attempt to even let me know other than DEfriend me and ignore me! Seriously first time, in a VERY VERY long time I cried over a situation ...it was so beyond my comprehension that someone I felt was a close friend, we'd gone to the temple together and we've hung out...would be so childish and immature and I am just baffled and at a loss...still am when I bring up the story...anyway, I may have been in the wrong here but she said in her explaining what was up that when she "get's over it, she'll let me know"....oh super...she'll let me know and then what?!?....super buddies again!!!???....she just basically said I don't mean that much to her to even work it out or mention her hurt feelings and she'll ignore me and make sure I know I'm not wanted by DEfriending me...ok...so I told her not to bother telling me when she gets OVER it...because "friends" ....people in general shouldn't behave that way and I can't have a friend like that in my life. So that is that...we've not been in contact now for a long time....and I mourn the loss at times...it was hard...so unfathomable have this situation happen at my age, as an adult!...I thought I'd be comforting my daughter for things like this not the other way around. sigh...I feel so much better just putting this out there...I do this only because nobody I know of in my realm of friends/family that read this is anyone I am referring to anyway...and if you are you'll know since I'll have texted, emailed or left you a message! :0
