it's no secret that sometimes I overreact. Because of past experiences and past relationships sometimes I have panic attacks over admittedly stupid things and I realize, after those moments are over, that it's not as big a deal as I originally thought. Alex had a horrible day yesterday and chose to spend the night at a friend's house and, because of this, I knew he needed to destress and game which didn't include talking to me. So I understand, I don't hold hard feelings toward him. I'd had a fairly stressful day myself and my stress relief is talking things out, mainly with him. So I was a slight bit upset last night after he and I exchanged a few lines of text (then again, he said some of the sweetest things in a long time and I know he felt horrible for not talking, even though I told him it was fine).
Instead I started talking to a mutual friend because he noticed I was feeling a bit down and wanted to help cheer me up if he could. I don't mind talking to him, he's a nice guy, and he usually knows his boundaries (plus he's interested in someone else so I have no issue talking to him). However, the friend was asking me what would make me feel better and I told him that, really, the only thing that would make me feel better would be cuddling with Alex, being with him, etc. the friend (I'll call him 'P' for annonymity purposes) said, "Well, I know it's not the same, but *cuddles*" Now, it's a text action, yes, but it's a text action reserved for my boyfriend. It's not something I do with anyone else. I've NEVER done that with anyone else. So I told him that was off limits and he backed off. Then, we were talking later into the night and he was saying things like, "He's not good for you if he's not communicating with you" which wasn't even the issue. He does communicate, he just didn't last night. >.>
so now I'm not sure that I want to talk to this friend anymore, but I'm wondering if I'm just overreacting on this end. =/
