 Was this a bad thing to say to a ‘friend’ who used me, and treated me less than for not attending university? 

I explained to her my feelings weeks before and she apologized and promised to change, then a day later did the same things I told her made me uncomfortable. She’s mad at me for not wanting to meet up and talk in person, but I refuse to waste my time begging for kindness from a ‘friend’. https://image.nostr.build/ef86041d52a792c16d93d9c70eb2a639d7fd3cc4341299d897a88ca5ee9651ae.jpg  
 Nope 🙂‍↔️ you did good! 
 thank you. i fear she’ll use this to try and demonize me anyways. there’s no winning. no matter how kind :/ 
 Good on you for protecting your peace ☮️ it’s important. Not everyone is meant to grow with us. Sometimes, they come back though. 
 Sounds like she would have found the way regardless and meeting would have caused only further harm. You've done the right thing staying away and protecting your peace 💜 not an easy decision and that's to be respected 🫂 
 seems like a mature response to me. well done.

true friends don't care much one way or another, but there's plenty to admire about someone who decides not to go into debt for an increasingly worthless piece of paper 
 yup :/ my nativity has made me believe that nobody would judge someone on that, but it seems like i was wrong 
 You don't have to talk to someone if it doesn't serve your path. She can't put requirement on you that you must listen. 
 Nope. Bye to her!
