Why do I even bother???? :-/

[vyperdd]

Called a friend last night to ask if she could come over on Sat to help keep me company while I pack, maybe even help a little herself, she says fine, happy to help. Tell her "Great, and thanks, will pick you up after work Sat morning".

Get a text this morning (Fri) saying she's been in bed with a bad back for last 2 days so wants to rest over the weekend and won't be coming over. 2 days, huh?? Why not mention THAT on the phone last night??? Seems to me she just changed her mind and the back pain is just an excuse not to say, "Nah, don't wanna help."

And that is why I'm so reluctant to ask for help or even support from those near me. Have been let down too many times by her (and others) pulling out at the last minute. Easiest just to do everything myself.

Still feeling like crap, but haven't shed tears since the other night, so I suppose that's progress, right??

It's a beautiful day outside, so I'm going to take Sam for walkies, pick up some things at the supermarket on the way home and then tackle the task of sorting and packing the 4 bookcases in my library.

Oh man, that sucks, nothing worse than having a friend promise to do something then not coming through :/ I'm so sorry!

Thanks. :-)

Think I've finally learnt my lesson this time. :-( Best not to ask in the first place then I won't get disappointed when the inevitable happens.

I am sorry. It just sucks. I feel the same way lately. I do not even bother to call my real life friends if they want to keep me company. I know I am a boring person to be around and I do, by far, prefer to spend my spare time online and chat with my online friends, the ones who truly care about me. Sam!girls support each others. I love you, honey. Do you not forget that. As you said in your tag, always keep fighting. *hugs* :)

Was going to ask if she could help me settle in to the new place but now?? No freakin' way!!
.
We do support each other and that's why, like you, I prefer to spend time hanging out online with my f*listies. Feel closer to a lot of you who I've never and probably will never meet in RL, than ppl I've known for over a decade and who live only a drive away.

Luvs ya back, sweetie!!! And I will ALWAYS KEEP FIGHTING!!! Don't ever doubt it!!

Aww that sucks I'm sorry, it does sound like she's just coming up with an excuse because she doesn't want to help out :(

I'm so sorry hon. I hope you keep trying and find a nice friend who can help. I know it is so hard to get back up after a rejection like that.
Wish we could all go over and help :(

Oh honey, that sucks and she's clearly not worth the stress. Which is easy enough for me to say but I wish you knew how much you mean to me, and how much you mean to the universe in general. When people treat you like this, it's THEIR deal, not yours!!!

If I could get to help you honey I would!
