Dear Friend,
I am extremely hurt and confused by your recent behavior. You are ignoring me.
You shared your ideas and thoughts with me in a way I found unhelpful. I shared with you (which is a big step for me) that it wasn't helpful. I tried to share my position in an adult manner. And now it feels like you have taken yourself out of my life.
I get the sense that my recent positions, emotions, and experiences are overwhelming to you. Perhaps I am triggering you. Perhaps you don't agree with me. Perhaps we are growing apart.
This hurts because I have spent my life leaning and being left by others. I moved so much growing up that I don't have any connection to people I knew when I was young. I've watched people that were my best friends move on. Out of sight, out of mind? I don't fault anyone for this but it hurts.
Even though I am hurt, I dread what will happen if you do decide to reach out.
I wish I could let go of how I feel. I wish I could stop wondering why this shift has occurred. I wish I could stop seeing the differences in how you are treating me.
