Open letter to a Lost Friend

I hate it when people make me feel like I am less than them when they ignore me when they insult me at every chance that they get when they make their assumptions about me when they are rude to me. But most of all, I hate it when a particular person continues to do this repeatedly. I don’t react, I don’t show but it pains me, just because I continue to be polite, just because I laugh off all the concealed insults, doesn’t mean that I am not hurt. I am also human, I also have feelings and with each passing day, every smile that I smile hides my pain, every cover-up that I make on your behalf embarrasses me even more.

I may say that I don’t mind but I do because I don’t think that has done anything that warrants me this disrespect. I may not be as intelligent as you prefer but that doesn’t mean that I am dumb. I am not saying that I am perfect but if I have wronged you if I have made a mistake just come up to me and tell me rather than disrespecting the friendship that we have had. Come on, If I can handle your insults and indifference, I can handle you telling me what I have done wrong. I am not fragile, I can handle not being friends with you anymore. I can handle you telling me what you don’t like in me, where I went wrong, but I can’t handle your disrespectful behavior.

I don’t deserve your disrespect. Being your once friend I owe you more than that and if you can’t give that to me just leave. You are not obliged to act as if there is no problem as if you are still my friend. You don’t have to tolerate me. There s no obligation, if you don’t like who I am you can leave. Your ending this friendship won’t hurt me but what hurts me more is when you stay back but always make me feel less.

I have friends in my life who love me despite all my faults and those are the ones who matter the most to me. If you can’t handle my faults then you are free to leave, but you rather chose to bestow your glares, mocking stares, behind the back taunts, hidden insults, and fabricated gossips on me. All your gossips and insults always find a way to me. I know whenever you are doing any of it, I understand the meaning of it, But I am not a mind reader I can’t understand the reason behind it unless you tell me.

You may not understand this but I am ready to listen to your views, I want to know the reasoning behind your decisions. I will accept it and will even try to work on my faults and if I won’t agree with something I will tell you so but I will never do what you are doing to me. I can never insult someone like this because I know how it feels. I know the pain of betrayal from a friend, I know how it burns, how it feels like to be abandoned and I will never wish it on anyone.

And if you can’t do any of this for me then I can just request you to please never repeat this behavior with anyone else.

Regards,

Your Once Best Friend
