An update on what
qualifies as garbage
person behavior
Dear Carolyn:
About the “garbage friend” from
a while back: It wasn’t an affair!
I’m not sure why someone else said
that, but it wasn’t.
I’d been pursuing a certain
opportunity, which I’d broadcast to
friends, family, coworkers, etc.
For months, Friend heard how
happy and optimistic I was. I told
her what I was doing, asking her
advice, which she gave, and giving
her inside information as part of
what I thought was building emo
tional intimacy.
Friend ended up getting that
opportunity before I found out I’d
been rejected. She left a folder in
our booth at one of our happy hours
that got knocked onto the floor. I
cleaned it up.
She never once let me know
her intentions, which was hilari
ous because I was going to find
out anyway! I had to “untell” all
those people, and it was even more
humiliating because they all knew
Friend, too.
She frittered the opportunity
away and left town. I have a draft
response to her that says, “Our
friendship didn’t drift apart... I
ended it because of your actions,
which include dishonesty and lack
of integrity.”
Friend never did own up to how
long her lies by omission had been
occurring. I hope this update clari
fies things.
— Are You [Bleeping] Kidding
Me, again
It does, a lot. Thank you for the
update, and, even though it was
two decades ago, I’m sorry for your
slow-rolling humiliation.
Objectively speaking, though, it
may have been less of a face-pie
than you thought it was. Your pain
is 100 percent real, but humilia
tion is disproportionately huge for
the person feeling it. The sense
you were diminished by this in the
eyes of others was and is probably
unfounded.
That doesn’t make Friend’s
duplicity okay. Lesser deceptions
end friendships permanently.
Again, though, there is objectively
another side to this: Some omissions
are straight-up treachery, but some
times they’re just runaway awk
wardness or cowardice. She could
have intended to tell you, chickened
out a bunch of times, then panicked
because she waited too long as you
told everyone you knew that you
were going for it.
Why do I presume to defend her,
at the risk of ticking you off or inval
idating you? Because I watch and
think about and read about people
all day, and it is so incredibly com
mon to believe people who hurt
us are evil when a lot of the time
they’re tormented, sloppy, weak.
I think it might be a weight off
your chest to mentally reframe this
person as tormented, sloppy, weak
instead of evil, and forgive her once
and for all — even if you opt for
“delete.”
