Friends: You get the good and the bad both

[misscam]

What do you say to someone who is on your flist when you think they're completely wrong? Someone who you feel hurt by?

I said it like this, but I dunno. I'm probably taking it personally - hell, I know I am. Triggered myself something fierce too, so now I feel ill and a bit out of my own skin.

That's the thing about friends, of course. Becuase you care about them and have some emotional investment in them, they can also hurt you more. That's part of the bargain. You do get the good and the bad, because the same people can be both awesome and infuriating, sometimes in a very short timespan.

(I'd like to take the chance to apologize for all and any bad/infuriating I've given my friends. I adore you all regardless, and I am sorry.)

The whole post and comments, for those curious. Might be triggering, as details of sexual assault are discussed.

Speaking of giving the good, greyladybast who is also a friend of mine, needs a bit of a hand to make a positive move. I helped her out, and I appreciate all who might be able to as well.

And I could use a hand not feeling like shit right now, quite honestly.

That really was a shitty thing for them to say in a situation like this. It sucks when friends hurt us. *hugs*
