'I blocked my rich friend on WhatsApp late last year because I realized I was mentally becoming a slave to her.
She could call me anytime she needed something, and I’d just rush to do it for her, no questions asked. But when I needed her help, she’d either not pick up, not reply my messages, or her number would just not go through. Sometimes, she would even read my chat & ignore it.
This thing went on for too long. When I complained, she would just apologize & promise to change.
Last year, we had an important deal. She was supposed to do her own part. I kept calling & sending messages, but she just ignored everything. I knew she was back to her bad ways. So, I just canceled the deal & blocked her on communicating social platform . It was obvious, She was clearly using me and making me look stupid. I later realized she had me mentally enslaved, probably because she has more money than me and more successful or something.
I just blocked her. And guess what, she never reached out too, i guess she didn't care , she must have felt relieved, i guess it felt like imwas a pest in her life,
Well, So, Its been a year gone, so Last week, I was at work when an unknown number called. I picked up, and immediately recognized her voice. She was like "Why did you block me everywhere? What exactly have I done to you?" she asked. That question just annoyed me more, because I felt she was still trying to play on my intelligence.
I told her to go and figure it out herself and call me back to talk, and to stop trying to be smart with me. I just dropped the call. She called back a few hours later, started apologizing, and giving me unnecessary excuses. She begged me to unblock her, so I did.
Yesterday, she called to propose a new deal. I told her No immediately. She was shocked! She asked to see me physically, and I just told her I don't have time and that she should look for another person. "I guess that's why you are calling after 1 year 2 months of silence. You are back to your old ways. But guess what? Once bitten, thrice shy! I am done taking rubbish from you. Let’s just be a casual 'Good morning' and 'Good night' kind of friend."
She couldn't believe I could talk to her like that. She messaged me again this morning, trying to convince me she has changed. But let me tell you, the child of snake is still a snake, and it is still dangerous.
That is just her nature. She cannot change, and that kind of person is not good for my mental health and my respect.
If people are not giving you the same energy you are giving them, please let them go. You will be fine. If you don't leave, you will just be a mental slave, and at the end of the day, you will gain nothing.
Don't let anybody enslave your mind just because they are richer than you. You deserve the best. You matter too, my sister. Humility is not the same thing as being a fool.
I'm not starving, I'm doing well in my tomato business, I'm happy & I'll keep trying until i finally find something better to do or perhaps get a better job with my certificate'
