Ang hirap magka friend na insecure and competitive in life.

I unfriended a "friend" who was like that. Literally.

As in lahat na lang kasi ng accomplishments ko may sabat na criticism. "Style of humor" daw nya yun, parang joke lang di man lang daw ako mabiro. KJ ko raw.

The last straw: nagpakahirap ako gumawa ng ilang oras cooking time worth of Japanese beef curry. Made it for the first time so of course medyo insecure ako kung oks ba.

Pag serve ko sabay banat siya ng "Ano ba yan mukha tae hahahaha"

Sabi ko na lang "Okay"

Ayoko na.

After that day, tinanggal ko siya sa FB friends list ko, no explanation. Hindi na siya nagtry mag reach out bakit ko ginawa. Buti na lang kamo, kasi ayaw ko na rin kausapin.

For years after that, nabalitaan ko (through my other friends) that whatever I did, ginagaya nya. Especially sa trips. Like nung pumunta ako Europe, ginawa rin nya same itinerary afterwards.

I went again, pinuntahan din nya uli same places daw.

One time after my 3rd trip, bigla ako nakakuha ng private message from his wife (ang weird talaga, I dunno why). She told me nagsawa na raw sila sa Europe so baka hindi sila pupunta for the third time.

I'm like... okay? Bakit need magpaalam pa sakin. And then she sent me the pictures of their trips (again, why?) And so dun ko na-confirm na oo nga, sinundan nya yung mga ginawa ko lol

I've cut you out of my life, wag ka sumiksik pabalik.

For sure marami tayong kilala na ganyan, minsan kamag-anak pa. Kayo ba, are you the burning bridge type? Or the type na "wala tayo magagawa tao lang, ganyan talaga si ___." pero friend mo pa rin?
