Misunderstandings …

can be hurtful

I recently had a misunderstanding with someone I consider a friend. It was more of a difference of opinion but my opinion wasn’t well received nor was I allowed to fully explain it. I was abruptly cut off.

As I sat there shocked at being cut off in such a way, something flitted through my mind … “If this person cannot allow me to finish my thoughts, just how much of a friend are they?” And the immediate answer … “they’re not”. How can they possibly be if they won’t hear me,

I felt saddened at this revelation. I felt betrayed and definitely hurt. I think I covered it well and carried on with another conversation but the conundrum now is how do I handle the situation going forward. That’s going to take a lot of thinking and musing on my part. It’s not an easy decision but I think whatever I decide will have some kind of consequence. The question is .. to whom.

Until the next time.
