It's a response I got to a friend request on Facebook:
"Thank you for the add, however I am at this time in my life, going to
decline as gracefully as possible. I do not think that we were ever
actually friends and I do recall a very uncomfortable situation at
Nxxx' s funeral in which you humiliated me in front of people that I
cared dearly for. Bygones, yes, however it was a painful moment that
you were happy to facilitate. My life is authentic and toxic free, to
pursue a friendship on a public forum such as FB would be false and
certainly not fair to both of us.
I wish you peace and a happy life. "
Want to know the humiliating thing I did? We were looking at pictures
and she said "Oh, look at how much eye make up I used to wear." and I
said "Oh, what do you mean used to?"
And that was in, get ready, 1993.
Whew! I don't think she's quite as evolved as she thinks she is.

Dawn,
ReplyDeleteI think you hurt her feelings - and even though it has been 16 years, obviously the remark stung deeply. My guess is that somebody else she cared about humilated/embarrased/wounded her about her make-up prior to when you did - and that's why an otherwise no-biggie remark caused such ire, even all these years later.
Either that or she can't handle the truth.
Or she doesn't want anyone in her life who is catty - and is it possible this wasn't the only thing you ever said to her that hurt ? But it WAS the only one she finally lost it over ?
I dunno. I wasn't there. I just didn't hear cruelty in her answer to you. I heard hurt.
I wonder what would happen if you apologized because you meant it.
Then if she was all snotty, it's totally on her.
There's always two sides to something.
Hmmm.... should I take this as a hint since I just friended you today?
ReplyDeleteAuthentic and toxic free would have been to just ignore your friend request, not hold up old injuries, real or imagined as a way to make you feel bad.
Ladies these aren't Dawn's friend requests they are various anonymous ones.
ReplyDeleteOh Dear - No - this isn't mine. This came from a discussion with someone else.
ReplyDeleteAnd No Tammie Love - this sure isn't you. Although I have always envied your hair....
What's been aggravating the shit out of me is that lately, every time I click on the 'find friends' link on facebook, the very first thing I see is my obnoxious ex-husband, grinning like a doofus, with fb's suggestion that I might want to be friends with the jerk. GAH!
ReplyDeleteI know I have had requests from people I'd rather NOT have access to my photos and info that is unavailable elsewhere. Like obnoxious classmates.....
ReplyDeleteI just do not ok them I don't write a passive/agressive note.
You know you can still friend them with a limited profile so they can't see anything right?
ReplyDeletegoddess of madness is a pushover
