As an aside to your thread - you might remember how upset I was (was it only last week?) about friends and the lack of them IRL.
I have taken my T's advice and stopped trying for now. Since then I've had a co-worker ask me to have lunch with her (worked with her for a year this was the first time). Wouldn't you know we had a pleasant lunch and good conversation.
I am not going to try so hard. Everyone's got a different set of circumstances, problems of their own. This lady had a breakdown 2 years ago that I'd not ever heard wind of. And my blowups in the office? She NEVER NOTICED THEM. Here I thought I was being ostracized for being so flakey, when in fact my behaviour and problems were invisible to most of my co-workers.
I guess I would say not to be too upset nor make too much of what happened. Friendships come and go, are appropriate and necessary at some times, and then one person or the other moves on. It's the nature of human life to change.
