Felt disconnected from friend

Posted by Tabitha on September 27, 2003, at 16:09:56

I met a friend last night and just had an awful time. I felt disconnected from her, and withdrawn, and irritated, and critical of her. I think I'm just angry that she has so little time for me since she's been dating someone and gotten engaged. My therapist would tell me I need to bring such feelings out into the open-- but I didn't even feel close enough to her to process our relationship.

She must have felt the tension too. At the end of the evening we usually hug but she got out of my car without a hug.

I was really needing support over the disruption in my relationship with my therapist. I talked about it but didn't get much response. Most of the evening she rattled on happily about her relationship.

It just felt awful. I feel it's my own fault, for sitting there withdrawn and disconnected, instead of doing something to change it. Just what I didn't need right now-- another relationship disappointment.
