At what point is it okay for us to just accept what people say without questioning? Yes, there's a back story to this question.
About a year ago a "friend" ended our friendship. Now I'm sure she had her reasons, and I respect that. However, what she said to me was that she couldn't be friends with someone like me. I simply said that I understood and apologized for having put her in a position where she felt had to do this. It really hurt, but I didn't want to make things more difficult than they needed to be. She had made her decision and that was that. Obviously, since it's been over a year, it still bothers me. What the hell does that mean? Someone like me? Like me how? What is it about me that she couldn't be friends with?
In hindsight I wish I had asked her these questions. Now I'll never know. So now I wonder, should I have even asked her? Did I handle this situation right? I hope so. I like to think that I backed out gracefully not making things difficult for her.
This is what I ponder, sending my question out into the cosmos, not necessarily seeking an answer, just peace.
