Knocked down.

[ysobelle]

I'm not sure, but I think one of the worst things in the world is to lift up the solid rock of what you thought was a good friendship and find innumerable worms and slime underneath.

The day started with utter insanity, but by evening I thought most of the drama was over. How wrong I was. People I truly thought I could trust have, apparently, said vile things behind my back while smiling to my face. I feel physically ill. I've been so proud of keeping drama out of my professional life. I've been so happy about how pleasant my job is. Now I just feel sick.

I'm not even flustered about this morning's drama any more. That'll sort itself out. But knowing what's been said about me? I don't know who I can trust any more. I feel beaten. I feel angry. And I'm more disappointed than I know what to do.

Happy New Year to me.

Its painful, it sucks, but if you let it change you, its something else they have taken from you. Besides, wait a few years, and blow them up. Just make it look like an accident. I have some really good books I can loan for that...

You know where I stand, Babe. Over here with a stick. heehee Unfortunately there is always drama. Drama is the result of non-addressing of issues by the people creating it. People who would rather snark behind someone's back than sit down like an adult and talk out their feelings/perceptions. I stopped hiding my feelings/opinions several years ago because it was better than letting things get worse. Granted it can make me unpopular but at least you know where I stand. heeheehee

I still think you rock, Luv. Flaws and all....cuz you still like me with mine.

People when they're angry, upset, or not completely in the know/understanding a situation will say things to make someone feel better. It never helps, however, when the person they're talking trash about is you.

This is a blip, my dear. You really are a good person through and through. People will see that and believe it or they won't. My mother's phrase was "modicum of joy". If they don't bring that to you then they're not worth it.

It hurts, it sucks, and all the other bad things, but it will pass. I'll call you later on tonight.

*gentle hugs* Whatever is going on, I know that you'll get through it with flying colors. You're strong, you CAN do it!

I lifted up that rock in July and had it smashed flat in my face with a resounding bang from which the pain is still stinging and I'm still trying to collect together the scattered pieces of crap that fell everywhere, including the drama of lies that I'm learning are veining their way through this network of sister's I have from the offending one who initially struck me. Stand strong, the woman that you are...the presence that you emit...no one can change that...it's innate in you and because of that you are loved by many in a way that no drama can change.

Whatever is happening, I'm here for you! ((((((Nikki)))))

I think we've all been there. It doesn't make it any better. I don't know why people seem to think they're entitled to spew crap behind someone's back and then retreat to perceived safety.

Not knowing the drama, not caring a bit. Just sending you a hug because sometimes, people just plain SUCK.

I have no idea what has happened, but I am ALWAYS there to listen if need be.

I love you ducks, as does my dysfunctional little family:)

Happy New Year!

Yurgh.


I have been there.
My friends are now few and far between, but have been proven trustworthy, which is worth more than a thousand untried acquaintances.

Many hugs and much sympathy... my thoughts are with you.

I have tried to be a drama free zone this season but I have been drug into it under protest. I do love you honey and want to talk because I am curious to know who is saying what is said. When you're not there, I get the brunt of it. If you want someone's direct thought you need to to talk to them directly. What happened Sunday morning, I stayed out of as much as I could. What's happening now, I have been brought into. And only for you have I logged into lj. That's how worried I am. Hugs. Call me when you're ready because I am worried. Several of us are because too much is being said without thought and the longer it is not addressed, the less control we have. And the loss of friendships could be too great.

You need anyone's guts stomped out, you let me know.

Harm of my friends, ESPECIALLY VERBAL/ Back stabbing tends to bring out the Violent Amy. Very much, "Hulk Smash NOW."
