Am I off base?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

 

 

I was wondering if I can get your feedback please.

 

 

I've had some really exciting news lately, and shared with a good friend of mine.

 

 

She did send me a lovely congratulatory card in the mail but besides that I haven't heard much from her. I was hoping she'd be more happy for me...want to get together etc. I know she is an extremely busy person but I am kind of disappointed.

 

 

Am I off base and expecting too much? Should I say anything to her? Is she being a "bad" friend?

 

 

Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated. Thank you very much

She sent you a congrats card, which is a nice thing to do.

 

As you said, she is a very busy person.. I'm not sure what it is you're expecting her to do? She isn't a bad friend, and I think you're reading into something that isn't there and making more of an issue out of this. Be happy she reached out to you and sent a card.

 

If you call her out on this it'll blow up in your face since it's not like she's ignoring you or didn't congratulate you.

gave good advice

I would also just call,and ask if she could go out for a drink or 2,but I wouldn't call her out on anything,just go out as good friends enjoying each others company

This is a reoccurring theme in your questions about if your friends are paying you enough attention.

 

Maybe you could call her and arrange to catch up, as friends do. I am not sure what behaviour she needs to be called on, other than not reading your mind. You shared your news, she shared her congrats. Your expectations of others are very high?

 

Do you show your friends the same level of attention you expect? Pick up the phone and take her out for a coffee like friends do.
