Re: Anyone ever realized someone never had your best interests at heart?

I had a friend who was the "shitty" part of this post. She always said she loved me like a sister, and I know she did, but... she also thought I needed to be fixed. She had good points - for one thing, I was incredibly naive for my age, and for another, I was always worried about doing the "wrong" thing. But how she handled it was another story.

For instance, one time she insisted if we were going to go to New York together, I had to be willing to go to clubs until 4 AM with her because that's what mature people do. She assured me it's not just bad people who drink. That's not even what I thought; I just wasn't interested in getting drunk and clubbing until 4 AM. It was stuff like that - she was right that I needed to loosen up, but I needed to loosen up my way, not hers.

I think in the end she just didn't get me, but thought it was my fault she didn't get me.

Sounds like she wanted a Mini-Me, instead of realizing that you were a different person and therefore not exactly like her.

It sounds like you just weren't compatible, and you were both frustrated by that. The way you've described this, it doesn't sound like she was pressuring you because she was a bad person. It sounds like she was pressuring you because she knew if she couldn't get you to "loosen up" the friendship wasn't going to work out. Maybe she should have realized that sooner and just given up, but I think it can be pretty hard to know it right away when you're just not compatible with someone.
