Blind Item

I had a friend email me out of the blue and tell me that they "continued" to not want anything to do with me. Which is the first I've heard of it. We used to be close, but drifted apart, and I hadn't heard from them in over a year prior to this. I can't ask them what this is about because they specifically requested I not attempt communication or contact of any kind and I'm respecting that. I can only guess.

The memory goblins are compiling a litany of every potential offense or slight I've ever committed within a five-mile radius of this person. I thought I'd been really good about not being a total asshole lately, but maybe I just got cocky.

4thing, I guess.

The only things I could think of that would make me say "okay, fair enough" to this approach are sufficiently horrendous that I struggle to imagine a Jetpack Monkey that is capable of them? Uh also it is highly unlikely that you wouldn't know/remember :P

Anyhoot, if this is over some slight or social transgression, it's a little bit gross, imo. It's not that they *owe* you an explanation, but if they are going to formally sever ties and don't want to say why then there are better, less putative ways of doing that.

If someone is going to drop a passive-aggressive bombshell and then leave you stranded with blanks for your imagination to fill,then imo they don't deserve your stress. How are you even supposed to know what you're stressing about?

That's pretty much where I am. If they want to talk with me about this, I'll be happy to listen and take my lumps. I know I'm not perfect and I know that I'm capable of pissing people off. I also work hard to learn from my mistakes, though.

I don't even know.
