Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Handling a So-Called Friend

How do you react when someone you thought was your friend talks badly about you? Maybe you overhear the conversation, maybe you learn it from an unimpeachable source – you’re not just believing idle gossip, you KNOW that person said bad things about you when they thought you couldn’t hear, and then continued to act like your friend to your face?

Most people – myself included, in younger years – get hurt, defensive and angry at the so-called friend. That’s a normal, reasonable response, and yet it’s not the best one for you.

In the quest for mental wellbeing, happiness, and success, getting angry and defensive about things makes you feel worse, not better. How can you soothe yourself in a situation like this? See the bigger picture – you’ve just learned a valuable lesson about someone you thought was your friend. With this new information you can move on, drifting away from that person who clearly can’t be trusted.

You know that phrase, “with friends like that, who needs enemies?” Now you know you don’t need to be that person’s friend anymore and you can explore new people and new friendships, free from your old, so-called friend.

Their loss, for sure!
