I've only done it once in the past six years. I hate confrontation, so I haven't brought it up to the person who does this to me. (Probably because they don't do it all the time.) Sadly, I think it's more common when you're around artistic people. There is a lot of jealousy and insecurity...and that's just coming from me. LOL! The behavior would have to get a lot worse before I'd do something drastic. Sylvia & Cece, It takes a lot for me to walk a way from a true friendship. I’ve only done it once in the past six years.

I'll at least try to figure out if it's just the way they are or just a phase. Like Sylvia I hate walking away from a friendship. But after a couple really bad experiences, I'd rather do that than let someone poison me.

I have to be certain I'm not reading more into what was said than I should be and the process of deciphering can take months. Once I've decided for a certainty that the "friend" is poisonous, I try to decide why they are that way. Did I do or say something to create the animosity? Or is it beyond my control? If it can't be fixed, I slowly begin to sever ties. Why slowly? Because I hate to lose friends. Absolutely detest it, because it takes so long to make one. I'll fight tooth and nail to keep a friend.
