Re: Jealousy

[(Anonymous)]

I'm going to buck the trend and say wait a little while and see if your interactions with her change for the better. It sounds like you've been letting this fester for a few weeks at least, and you've probably been coming off as clingy and jealous to your friend. Now that you've finally broken down and admitted you're feeling hurt that she's not spending much time with you, she's going to need to reframe those earlier interactions, and either find a compromise that balances your need for her attention with her need for her own space, or cut ties with you.

To be perfectly honest, there's a good chance that she feels like you're exactly what most of the comments to this are saying she is: someone who's only interested in her for her talent. From what you've said here, it sounds like you expected nothing to change while you were on hiatus - you're paying lip service to her right to work with other people, but it really doesn't seem like you believe it at all. From her perspective, you constantly sending her ideas and fics in hopes of getting her to draw for you has probably made it seem like you're saying "hey, I'm back now, so you should drop your other friend and start drawing things for me again pronto". So while she needs to decide if she can give you the attention and time to talk you need, you are going to need to decide if you want her to be your friend even if she doesn't want to go back to collabs, and possibly apologize for coming on too strong.
