'Best friends don't exist'=No cliche.

To anyone who has been brutally hurt and has had his trust broken(which makes most of us). :)

I am aware I am not the only cynic here, lol. Well, coming to the point, my best friend broke my trust. The worst thing a person can do to me is break my trust, and that's exactly what she did.

A few days back, I had cut my wrists and the cuts ran so deep that it caused a constant bleeding, I was not planning to die, I had simply wanted to cut myself because something unexpected had happened. But this is a different story.

I texted my best friend telling her what I had done, and I got no response. I got scared so I called her up, she picked up the phone and sounded completely casual.

Here is how it went:-

Myself: Did you get my message ?
Best friend: Yeah, I did. *No emotion in her voice*
Myself: Oh, I see...
Best friend: I am with college friends, going to college. *Laughs with her friends*
Myself: *Trying to recover from the shock of what she had done* Oh, okay...bye.

Well, if you people are curious about how my life was saved, then I'd just save that story for later.

The problem I need to have a serious discussion on is the magnitude of my best friend's betrayal, she had been my best friend for 12/13 years now. No kidding. The last thing I want to hear is the justification for her act, cause what did was plain wrong, so justifying it would be out of question. I expected that she would ask me later on if my problem had been solved, if my cuts had started to heal, but my anticipation went in vain. And, even though, I am trying to work my out of it by keeping myself busy with the exams-preparation, it seems impossible to enetirely subside my pain.

However, I am proud of myself for trying and even prouder that I haven't tried contacting her again. This wasn't the first time that she hurt me, she's hurt me on numerous occassions, she has made unimaginable mistakes with me, the kind not many people could forgive. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to reperesent myself as a saint(not even close). If anything, I believe I am a fool to have forgiven her before, I feel like I've brutally mocked myself.

Rest assure, I am not using bad coping strategies in order to get through all this(to my surprise), but I wish she would realise what she had done.

*Sighs* I feel so good after writing it out.

Thanks for reading, y'all. :)

Love, Farah

Guess she wasn't your best friend, then. :shrug:

And if she is, don't risk a decade old friendship by stopping contact, talk it out.

you have to realize that cutting yourself hurts other people, not just you. I don't want to sound harsh but, your friend doesn't deserve to hear about all the times you hurt yourself. Every cut you make is a statement that she is not good enough to talk to. Basically, you are saying that you don't trust HER with your problems. She won't understand why you do it. She only understands that your friendship isn't good enough for you to stop. she probably feels useless. She probably thinks your text message was a lie to get attention. I wouldn't feel particularly empathetic if one of my crack addicted friends had a close call either. it's inevitable that you will go too far and she knows this and has already been dealing with it for a long time.

Look at me putting words in other people's mouths! :D

sorry, but your friend just sounded fed up. have you texted her with this kind of stuff before? if you knew that it was nothing, why did you text her? so that she'd drop everything that she was doing because *you* chose to inflict harm on yourself? sorry, but it sounds as though your friend's fed up...

I agree with Planetsomsom. :\

I can understand that she would get tired of trying to handle the chaos in your life. :shrug: It's your responsibility to take care of yourself, not hers. A counselor might be able to help you find healthier ways of coping.

In the mean time, start looking for new friends. It sounds like she won't be coming back. :(

:hug:

i know how you feel.


sometimes, the people you would think would care for you most in your time of need just turn their backs on you to be with their "new friends". i know exactly how you feel, someone you thought was your best friend just comes out of nowhere with something like that and all those good years of trust and friendship just disintegrate.


i feel for you, i really do. unfortunately i have no idea what to do in this situation. i suggest you try keeping this friendship alive, because, even though it might be hard at first, and you feel like you want to drive a brick through their forehead, in the end they might just have been going through some tough times themselves and they probably didnt mean a word of what they said.



then again, some "friends" arent to be trusted and one day decide they dont like you anymore. go figure. :(

Best friends don't exist. That's why I don't judge my friends. They're all friends, they're all unique, there are a few I'd pick over others. I don't oblige them to "be there" for me any time I eed them. Everyone can take care of him or herself (why is there even different words for him/her? who knows) even if it sounds like a lot. Friends make it more interesting.


I hope I used "oblige" in the right context.

Man, just listen to yourself: you have a problem, cut yourself nearly to death (and, excuse me, how did it help to resolve a problem?), then call your friend (who probably is fed up with all that), then you feel proud of not contacting her and now you tell us not to justify her actions because you're so certain you're the right one in such situation! And she is your friend for years! Well, with such attitude you won't have a lot of friends left.
