I hate when I let a friend down. Even when it's not my fault, my doing, or under my control in anyway. It sits in my gut like oozy lead. By the 18th, the situation will be past and I will feel okay again. Until then...

oh what did you do now?
Lovely Cats ~ Seriously...not helpful.
:( I know what a crummy feeling that is. My thoughts are with you. xo
I don't know how I got so behind on things around here.
- A few posts back, that is a very cool view from the hotel.
Now, I know what you mean about letting friends down as it feels rotten regardless of the circumstances. Good luck pushing through because I know it's not much fun until you come out the other side.
It happens and often it can't be avoided. The good thing about friends is that since it happens to all of us, a true friend understands and forgives.
That's not to say that you don't feel like crap about it, nor does it mean that the friend doesn't feel like crap about it too. But, we're not perfect, so don't beat yourself up over it. Let the 18th come and go with whatever apology you feel is necessary, and your friend will understand and forgive. It's not really fair, no, but, it is what it is. The fact that you DO feel like crap about something over which you have NO control only shows that you are a good friend. This, too, shall pass.
What a wretched feeling -- but, as has been said above, I'm sure your friend will understand. If not immediately, then eventually.
Graziella ~ :( is right.
$$ ~ The view was cool. And yeah, just gotta get past it.
Jaded ~ True. So true.
Wolfgrrrl ~ Luckily, she *does* understand. She's been GREAT about it. It's still sucky in my tummy, though.
The same problem that I have but unfortunately this bad feeling of hating to let folks down, extend to my family, friends and colleagues. Yikes, when I carry this feeling I am overwhelmed. I'm working on not stressing myself out when the feelings become too much. This way I can be stress and worry free because I know letting them down was the right thing to do.
that's why i am here.
seriously, i'm sure everything will be ok.
Well, I'm not 100% sure what you're talking about so I can't imput on that situation. What I can say is that when I have truly needed a friend (and that has not been often as you know) you have been there for me. I can't imagine that you wouldn't be there for this person if there weren't extenuating circumstances. I really hate it when life gets in the way, but it can't be avoided sometimes. I hope the 18th comes and goes quickly my friend, my thoughts are with you all the way.
Rose ~ Perhaps your not letting them down at all in that case. Just something to think about. Of course, that and a buck fifty... ;)
Lovely Cats ~ {{{hug}}}
Pharmyard ~ Yeah. It's not even a big deal. Just...an icky. Thanks though.
You're being too hard on yourself Pobble, I think. I know- I do the same thing. We can't do everything.
