Letters Never Sent - Scathing Truths Never Shared with the Recipient

Letter Details: you've lost a friend...

Category: Friendly Feuds

Description:

Dear Friend No Longer: I really feel sorry for you but not nearly as sorry as you feel for yourself. I never meant harm when I pointed out a basic truth to you that life is full of choices. You have chosen to grieve over a woman who may never come back to you and your self-esteem is suffering so much that you don’t care what you say to someone who is trying to help.
You are so defensive that when I sincerely wanted to help you and cared that you are in pain, you turned your anger on me. No wonder you have been searching for a mate for so long, no one can make you happy and it appears you prefer to be miserable.
I’m not the one who “bolted”, I only reached out a hand in friendship and you just kept putting me off claiming “trust issues”. I’m not the bad guy here and you don’t have to be such an asshole and treat me so rudely.
You have all the tools you will ever need to move on with your life and get over your “battered heart”. The fact that you won’t use them or listen when someone says you need to move on is in itself evidence of your unfathomable self-pity. It seems as though you only want to hear: “oh poor guy, now he’s gotten all fat because he is drowning his sorrows in food. IT IS ALL YOUR CHOICE AND YOUR HEALTH.
I know this stuff personally because I went through it ….but don’t let anyone tell you that you are not the only person who has ever suffered a broken heart. Heaven forbid anyone would ever suffer as much pain as you.
I think it’s pathetic that you just told me off when I suggested you jolt yourself when you told me you needed a powerful jolt to get over this thing. I suggested you re-read a book you already have and take to heart what it says about choices. Sorry I didn’t coddle you and weep when you said you just can’t even move on toward a new friendship. I’ve had my hand slapped (verbally) before, but never in such a selfish a way as you have done. The world is not all about you, a friend tries to help and you attack. You have the worst self-image I have seen in a long time. Someone else got hurt in your process and you only see yourself and your pain.
I really don’t care anymore if you like me or not, I just feel pity for you. Keep on and pretty soon life will be over and you will be alone wondering what you did to alienate those around you.
I could have been a good friend to you and you have no idea who I really am and now you will never know, it’s your loss!
