My very good friend has cancer. I have been ultra supportive. Lately I feel myself getting angry at her. She 'seems' to want to prey on the sympathies of everyone. It's as if she cannot get a sentence about anything out without throwing in her diagnosis and stretching it out very long. Every facebook post, even what begin as happy posts, turn to 'please pity me' posts. When she makes a positive comment it seems glib.
Cancer is a giant financial burden, i realize. But she literally told me she could not afford a $5 book. I bought if for her. Next thing I know she is getting mani/pedi and massage. Yes it might have been a gift. But this was like the 5th one and if I have been her closest friend for 10 years then who is giving her these? Aren't they seeing the same thing as me? Same scenario plays out over and over with eating out, movies, etc.. She makes plans, shows up with no money, then the next day is at some extravagent event.
I could go on and on. I have not said anything negative to her because she is battling cancer which is more than enough. I just don't understand her behavior or why its making me SO angry.
