Reply To: feeling betrayed by my closest friend

Something very important to remember: No one has ESP. She can’t read your mind. Never expect someone to “just know” what’s on your mind.

I know it’s easy to say to yourself “But she should have known I felt this way.” This is unrealistic.

Talk to your friend in a quiet time and tell her that you felt pressured to “be cool” and you were really scared. Ask her to not put you in that position in the future, that you’ll agree at the beginning of the evening how you’re both getting home and then you both stick to that plan.
