The discounter

Let me first say that I fully understand the need to just commiserate at times. But what SERIOUSLY pisses me off is when people do this: Do you ever have friends where you listen to all their bullshit relationship drama, but somehow if you try to discuss another point in your life that you are upset or concerned about you are automatically discounted?? Your concerns are DISMISSED. Dismissed in that either you are being a drama queen or your concerns are just not that important.

This actually happened to me yesterday when dining with a well known CC. Upon expressing my disappointment that ANOTHER CC had failed to step up the plate during a crisis and be a friend, THIS CC defended the actions...or uh, lackthereof. I was told that "other people have stuff going on TOO" and I was made to feel stupid and selfish. For those of you out there who don't know...the situation was a broken neck. And my disappointment was that, this person, whom I thought was my friend, couldn't even be bothered to write me an email or text me to see how things were.

I actually kind of feel stupid writing this...expressing disappointment about a CC TO a CC. WTH was I thinking?
